The scent that struck you when entering the room on the fifth floor was really something else, there was a huge water leak in the hallway ceiling going up to the room and the scent was "pungent" to say the least. In the room itself the wall paper was falling of the wall in one corner of the room. We stayed during 4 nights and there was no cleaning at all made from cleaners during that time, i needed to collect new towels myself from a cleaning lady in the hallway to get new ones. Yes, she passed by the room in the hallway, but didn't enter.......
The good thing was there was no bed bugs (lived with a guy who are working with sanitation of those pests) and there was hot water so i didn't have to shower in cold water.
We were there just having beers and watching football, and yeah, we have no high demands at all. However if our wives were with us we would have NEVER gotten to stay at that hotel. Not a chance. The smell alone would get them running. And to be frank, it was almost to much for us as well. But the human body adapts when there is a risk of missing out on the enjoyment of beer and football so we overcame. This hotel will be one of the worst ones i've stayed in. And I've traveled alot in eastern europe. So, you just have to accept that a 3 star hotel in the UK is 1,5star in the rest of the world. Saying this, we never dared having their breakfast. And that decision I'm glad for.
