Le Sand & Stone Hotel

Many reviews report mold, bad smells, stained sheets, dirty/clammy bathrooms, clogged sinks and generally poor cleanliness (including disgusting communal bathrooms).

Multiple comments praise staff as very friendly, accommodating and helpful; reception apologized and attempted to assist. A few notes about difficulty contacting the owner, but overall service is a clear positive.

Consistently described as a practical, central downtown location—convenient for sightseeing—but reviewers warn the surrounding area can be rough, noisy from nearby clubs, and attract homeless/drug activity.

Rooms are often smaller and more basic than advertised, with old-style buildings, loud portable AC units, some rooms lacking private bathrooms, occasional no hot water and uneven maintenance.

Mixed amenities: some rooms have AC, fans and a small fridge; there is no proper breakfast in many cases but free coffee/muffins are mentioned. AC reliability and shower shelving are inconsistent.

Frequently described as good for the price and a reasonable budget option given the central location—suitable if you accept minimal, low-cost accommodation trade-offs.

No substantial breakfast offered (guests rely on nearby patisseries), though free coffee and muffins are available; overall limited F&B offerings.

Mixed overall: many guests value the staff and central location and find it acceptable for a budget stay, but persistent cleanliness, noise and comfort issues made stays unpleasant for others.
