14 of 464 reviews report a problem, about 3 in 100 stays. Recent guests mention small maintenance issues, a boiler with intermittent hot water in June 2026 and AC that struggled during a heat wave, plus a bathroom drainage smell that was not fixed. None of these showed up often enough in the last 8 low reviews to call this a pattern, so you can book with the numbers as they stand.
