You'll encounter multiple confirmed problems: 33 of the 103 low reviews we read closely mention inaccurate room descriptions (wrong bed types, missing amenities, dark rooms). 17 mention unresponsive or impersonal host communication via self-check-in kiosks. 16 mention noise from trams outside windows. These issues appear across both low and high ratings, meaning they're real patterns, not isolated complaints.
What the stars hide
Guests arrive to find twin beds instead of doubles, no fridges despite photos suggesting otherwise, windows that don't open, and rooms far darker than pictures show. The listing text doesn't match what guests actually get.
Counted51 reviews mention accuracy · 15 in the last year · 3 bad enough to change a booking · also raised by guests who still gave five stars
You'll check in at a computer terminal with no staff assistance or welcome. Messages to the hotel go unanswered or receive only automated replies. Requests during your stay (pillows, questions about amenities) don't get responses.

The hotel sits directly above active tram tracks. Early morning and evening tram passes create significant noise that prevents comfortable sleep with the window open.

Beds have uncomfortable mattresses, pillows are thin and low, furniture collects dust, shower traps hold odors, and air conditioning doesn't cool adequately. Rooms feel stuffy and small.

Rooms use dark décor and minimal lighting. Guests need flashlights to navigate and prepare for the day outside the bathroom.

Listing language, decoded
We read the most recent reviews rather than all of them here, which is not a fair basis for comparing now against before.
One reply found; it apologizes for booking issues but shows slow response patterns. No evidence of engagement with cleanliness, accuracy, or noise complaints.
