Avenir

Stayed for 3 nights in April. Location has proximity to Convention Metro station and Expo centre. Supermarkets and restaurants in the surrounding areas. Breakfast option available at € 5 which includes bread and croissant with a glass of juice and coffee. Good people at reception - very helpful and pleasant , ready to assist. But the hotel is dated in terms of old furniture and old carpets and a tiny lift.

Got off the metro to find the hotel in a lovely area - stupid us got excited! Stepped foot into the hotel to be greeted by the strongest ever smell of cigarettes and the sight of nicotine stained walls. We then used the lift to get to our room - equally as shamoblic, the smell, the sight just horrid. No hall ways were lit up even though the lights did work as we later discovered, the dark hall ways were creepy but I guess it matched the vibe of the bleach stained carpets which needed to be changed 20 years ago. The room was the icing on the cake. We had a shower which didn’t even hang from the wall, the bath was stained and the remainder of the bathroom was mouldy. We opened our “balcony doors” to be greeted with a grimy and dingy view of what I would describe as a dump, with the finishing touch of a paper cup used as an ash tray for god knows how long. Would never recommend in my entire life - we was provided this hotel through a wowcher deal thankfully not my own doing as I’d never have forgiven myself.

Welcoming ok kind. Poor room, the state of the carpeted access corridor to the bedroom sets the tone. 1 electrical outlet in the room, questionable cleanliness, torn sheets, holed bed top... No desire to try breakfast whose tables are wedged between the Welcoming Desk and the elevator... Only the Welcoming is nice, and the location.
