A Dot Homestay

Good price, and everything was clean and close by. The room was tiny, with the shower practically over the toilet, and fitting two large suitcases in there was a bit difficult.

The metro is just around the corner, and I’d absolutely book this place again. It was quiet and cosy, with a nice atmosphere, clean modern facilities, a pleasant cafe and good coffee. The staff were friendly, and there were complimentary snacks too. I really enjoyed my stay!

The location is the main reason to stay here, and it’s a good option for backpackers. Still, to me it’s a true 3-star hotel. The staff were friendly, though the service felt like they were simply doing their jobs. There aren’t many of them, and when I ordered breakfast I waited more than 30 minutes. The facilities were clean and okay, but the bathroom, and really the whole room, felt too damp. I could see the ceiling starting to get moldy. The kitchen and open cafe area are small and cozy, so food smells build up quickly while they’re preparing meals. Check-in starts after 15:00, and there’s no staff around after 20:30, though they do provide a number to call.

There are only 12 rooms in this contemporary hotel, and the room I had was clean, if a little small. The bed was comfortable and the soundproofing worked well. Its position between the red and brown Metro lines is a big plus for getting around. Outside the room, there’s a small pantry with hot water, biscuits, tea bags, and similar things. The staff were generally friendly, and the cafe serves paid food until 2 p.m. A nice extra is the toilet’s automatic bidet seat, something I’d usually expect in a higher-tier hotel.
