    Not staffed 24 hours, but had code to access even when not staffed.

    Location and room slept up to 4 people with queen bed and sofa bed. I also liked having codes to doors, so there were no keys to keep track of.

    The towels were clean but old and the WC facilities were also a little bit old.

    The location is excellent! Late check in is also feasible. They changed the sheets and towels everyday. It is a lively neighborhood and there a lots of restaurants and cafes just around the corner.

    Could be loud because of its location especially waste disposal collections in early morning and noise from adjacent apartments in a multi story old building…. But it was fine for me.

    Perfect location, very simple with no real facilities but good room, shower, coffee/tea making facilities and straightforward checkin with great helpful friendly staff.

    No hotel facilities, as it is a hostal only, there were no communal areas and the reception was covered only in afternoon/evening. It is also a bit tricky finding it, especially in the evening when it gets sark as not big sing at street level.

    Great room and location

    I had a great stay! The room was spacious with a large window facing the street, which I really enjoyed. The location is excellent, and the check-in process was smooth with a warm and welcoming staff. The only downside was that the showerhead holder was installed in an uncomfortable position, which made showering a bit awkward—but the water pressure and temperature were great. Overall, a very good experience and great value for money. I would definitely recommend!

    The shower head, and the holder was in a really bad condition, spread the water in a chaotic way and almost ripped out of the wall. The A/C was functioning really inneficiently, we could not controll the temperature, we just set it to 30'C then it could reach 23-24'C

    Stuff was really nice & helpful

    The hotel is on the second floor of an apartment block which can be a bit noisy, especially the AC units.

    The location couldn't have been better. close to the Metro and the Major tourist attractions.

    no one to reach when you need , they are only available between 14:00 and 22:00 which is the problem, when you need support in the morning or late night. Also , there is no phone number provided in case (except a generic number which was useless). Also some staff at reception could not speak english at all

    definitely location is perfect

    No mirror in the rooms makes it difficult to check yourself before going out. A cheap mirror for 10 euros should be put in the rooms.

    Every thing was great and the front desk staff are friendly and helpful.

    Everything was good.

    We were upgraded to a bigger room which was great. There was a fridge, tea/coffee/biscuits and a huge Smart TV. The location couldn’t have been better, with all the main attractions very close by. Staff were brilliant. This is the 2nd ByPillow hotel we’ve stayed in and I would definitely stay in them again.
