Negatief: Netheid, personeel en service en voorzieningen
Our room (705), had (for the most part) a white-on-white theme, that had us squinting our eyes when entering. Going to close the curtains, we found the most uninviting empty balcony absolutely covered with bird droppings. For the price-point, the room was very unspectacular to put it mildly. The harshly modern, industrial loft vibe seemed dated and overall quite unwelcoming.
We went to take a shower. Coming out and drying off, I noticed that my towel was dirty, covered in what looked like patches of dry blood and other indiscernible stains. We took the towel downstairs and the staff gave us some drink vouchers which seems to be the hotel management’s prescribed way to cover for all of their current inadequacies.
Back from a walk, we heard loud music from the neighboring room, thanks to the set of Marshall amps/speakers they have put in each room. Given that the rooms do not include most base amenities that you would expect from a hotel of this level, it’s almost comedic that they’ve chosen to put high-volume speakers in the rooms. Combined with their decision to save money on acoustic construction materials (read: world’s least soundproof door), one must question who planned such a monstrosity and whether they are of sound mind. Note: thanks to the lack of a room telephone, we couldn’t call the front desk, but needed to instead visit them downstairs to address any concerns. Lean luxury? I get the lean part but where is the luxury?
