Hotel Rachel

perfectly fine for the price. but the location is not ideal, pretty far away from the city center, so it shouldn’t be your first choice if you only have limited time in the city because you’re gonna spend a lot of time traveling. the room was fine, cigarette burns on the bed sheets and ants an the room were the worst parts. you need to bring your own towels and soap and keep in mind, toilets and showers are shared. but like I said, fine for the price, wouldn’t have spent more on it.

Overall no major complaints, decent place to stay for cheap. The rooms have huge windows which open to the walkway - if you want fresh air this may be a source of concern for security. The bathrooms and toilets were in a separate building but were clean. Location is nice, quieter neighborhood with bus/metro stops within a 15 minute walk. Our room smelled very strongly of cigarette smoke despite neither of us being smokers, but opening the windows helped.

To start, I had to wake up the person at the desk to check in. He was grumpy. By day 2, the overhead light in my room stopped workimg, the only one in the room. The sink in the room gurgled on and off, then began regurgitating sewage into the basin. I was afraid it'd overflow into the room. None of the locks on the shower doors worked, and my last morning the shower door wouldnt even stay closed. Also, the people who own it libe there, and their kods would be yelling and screaming until after 11
