Acco Guesthouse

The apartment was really grey, and the bedroom lamps hung so low we kept bumping our heads. Aside from that, we found it comfy and spacious, and cooked there. The bathroom was great, with a laundry area we really needed, and they even included soap. The beds, sofa bed included, were comfortable, and everything worked well. It was one of the nicest places we slept on our trip for the price. Parking in the area costs money from 10 to 16. Highly recommended.

The room was stuffy and the light was so dim that I had to use my phone flashlight to find things in my suitcase. It was hard to tell black from dark red or green, even though I have perfect vision and no color recognition issues. There were no shelves or hooks, just holes where they had been. One outlet was high by the door, and the other was behind the bed, so I would have had to move it to charge my phone. Noise made the heat even harder to deal with. I turned the thermostat down as far as it would go, which helped a bit, but the bar downstairs was loud from about 1 to 3 a.m. both nights. People shouted and cars raced outside. With the window closed it got unbearably hot, even though I usually feel cold, so I slept with it open and no blanket, trying to tune out the noise. The bathroom had a broken showerhead holder and nowhere to put toiletries except the floor. The towel rack was opposite the shower, so towels got wet there. The hairdryer was half melted and smelled like burning plastic almost as soon as I switched it on, so I stopped before my hair was dry. Mirror lighting was poor too: the bathroom light cast harsh shadows, and the entrance mirror's lamp shone on the wall. There was no mirror in my room. Laundry was available, but the drying rack could only go in the shared living room, so you'd have to dry underwear in a common space. The bathroom door opened straight into the living and dining area, with the toilet just off to one side and only a column for a little privacy. The shared area was dim, though the kitchen was fine apart from having no cutting board. I was in a small room while traveling with a group, and found the stay disappointing. Better lighting, basic repairs, and more thought for privacy and practical use would make a difference.

It's a nice place right in the city center, though on weekends you can hear people partying in the streets. There was no soap or shampoo in the bathroom, and nothing like coffee in the kitchen either.

We were very happy with the place overall. It was one of the nicest and most spacious stops on our ring road trip, and having a dishwasher and laundry access was a big plus after a week in guesthouses. Saturday night, bass from the bar went on until 3 a.m. I slept through it with white noise on my phone, but my husband couldn't. Sunday night was quiet and we slept well. We were on the fourth floor, and I can only imagine how loud it might be on the other floors. The front door was also a hassle: it took a couple dozen tries and a call to staff before we could shove it open.
