The room is useful if you need to spend a night, but everything is old and very worn out

Liked:Simple self check-in: we received the entry code via SMS the room had everything working correctly, but quite old and not well mantained

Disliked:the furniture is quite old and very worn out the kitchen was not cleaned correctly: all the kitchen doors were dirty there was no water heather that would have been useful for coffee or tea

Liked:The TV di not work, the shower and the tap did not drain water, dust was everywhere. Internet plug was damaged. One of the kitchen cabinet door was missing. The overall priva was too high for the poor quality of the room. And please, put realistic photos in booking.com !

Liked:Nothing

Disliked:Mold, unsafe, unclean, terrible staff. On arrival: the door to the central area was open, anyone could walk in. The door to our appartement was open. Upon closing it we couldn't get back in as the provided code did not work. There was mold in our first room. We called customer service, they did not want to transfer us as the hotel was "full". Upon contacting booking.com, they managed to somehow managed to find me a new room, next to the old one. Mold, broken shower... We called again. The lady on the phone got angry with me and told me to just sleep in the mold. We left immediately. We did not get a refund from the hotel nor booking. Insurance and other options to get your money back are kinda impossible as this is not an EU country. Even the Swiss Ombudsman couldn't help us. AVOID.

Katastrophe

Disliked:The most appaling booking we have ever stayed in and exited as soon as we could after a horrible night and no sleep. The place is simply unacceptable : - The bed covers were full black dots- which turned out to be pieces of synthetic material from the old headboard covers which was so old and run down it was coming apart. the cover had our skin itching so much that we tried we to cover the bed with to somehow try to sleep and avoid allergic reactions or bites from whatever was causing the itching. - the old curtains fell off when you tried to close them - ⁠the bathroom was old and dirty (we don’t think it’s the cleaners fault - the place is simply externally run down) - ⁠loud noise from road - ⁠noise from other guests coming though the walls - ⁠uneven ground and old really shady looking entrance with empty cupboards and Mattresses standing in the hallway which contributed to the generally just really heartless and run down place. Frankly: the reality looks nothing like the photos visible online. How on earth “star California” got any starts at all escapes me! Don’t book it ! We are requesting a refund for the remaining nights we paid and didn’t use.
