Communal has the potential to be better. First I will say George one of the hotel managers is lovely and very helpful which is why I didn't rate it lower. It's located in a quiet street so no street noise at night.
That being said, while the hotel has an interesting aesthetic I don't think I would stay there again. There’s no service after 5 pm or before 8 am, so when we arrived at night the building was dark and empty- honestly quite creepy vibes. At departure (7 am), again no one around. There's no elevator, so you have to carry your own luggage up metal stairs which was something we were not prepared for.
The room was too dimly lit, and we had a half window that was so high you couldn't look out and blocked by trees. The split ac in the room was struggling to work even though the weather was not that hot and made a lot of noise. The water shower pressure could have been much better too and would be screaming hot unless you held the shower in your hand. Also we would request extra towels and except for one time, they were not provided.
Breakfast was overpriced and underwhelming... If you eat late then expect stale chewy bread and bad coffee. Labneh and Turkish eggs were good though.
For the price, this felt way below standard. Boutique style isn’t enough when basics like comfort, service, and amenities are lacking.
