This isn’t really a boutique hotel — more like renting a room in someone’s house. Hard to find (no sign, hidden behind a gate), no welcome or intro, no drinking water, fridge was off and leaking, very few plugs, tiny a bit darker room, shower with only one temperature, and windows that don’t close fully. They even asked $20 to store a small backpack after checkout for 4 hours.
No drinking water: Not even a bottle to purchase. And sorry, tap water here is a hard “no” from me.Fridge issues: Fridge was off, ice melted, water everywhere. They turned it on when I asked, but wiped up the mess with the same cloth used inside. Cue my inner germaphobe screaming.
Room setup: Tiny room, barely space to walk around the bed. No shelves or wardrobe for clothes, not enough sockets for charging. Decor is dark and outdated — heavy on shadows, low on natural light.
Bathroom: Functional but basic. Shower has one temperature setting: “meh.”
The good: location is convenient, security is strong, and the photos online look amazing (credit to the photographer) but actual look is varies..
Overall: basic stay at best, but misleading as a “boutique hotel.” With some small improvements and better hospitality, it could actually be decent.
So my advice? Add the basics, be transparent, maybe raise the price slightly, and you’ll have much happier guests. Until then, this was less “boutique hotel” and more “Airbnb with trust issues.” How they rated so high on Expedia!!!! No brainer.
