Not as expected

I have stayed in a different Bob W accommodation so I was expecting a similar level when booking this place. Unfortunately, things went wrong from the beginning. When I arrived, my profile was not updated so I could not enter my room. After 15 minutes of getting drenched in sweat from dragging my bag up and down the staircase and having to correct the support person in the WhatsApp who could not locate my booking, the issue got resolved. The room is very small and stuffy. There is no aircon and the window only opens a bit. The cleanliness was not great - there was a long black hair on my towel, dried coffee grounds inside the cafetiere and the floor had clubs of dust. The kitchenette amenities are lacking - there is nowhere to clean the dishes other than the small sink in the bathroom and even if you wanted, there was no sponge or washing liquid provided. There is also nowhere to sit when eating other than on the bed or on the toilet. The walls are very thin and provide little to no soundproofing - I could hear the noisy neighbours and there was a lot of traffic (and I am not a light sleeper). The last day I got woken up at a silly hour by the noise. When I messaged about it, I was offered a complimentary late check out (I was there for work) and then complimentary breakfast (again, I was there for work and not going to hang around). I was also accused of not raising an issue earlier (noise is not a new complaint from guests and earplugs are not a decent solution).

It’s an adorable space but if you have a few suitcases, don’t bother. Who’s idea was it to have NO lifts?! It was a battle to yank my luggage down the stairs to my room and then up again the next morning. Really not good enough, knowing travellers are almost guaranteed to be carrying something. My room was deep in the basement and the narrow corridors and extra doors made it gruelling to get to. Don’t stay here long term in summer months — it’s a sauna in the LG studios, although my room had a door that opened up to this communal garden which others had access to which somehow didn’t feel safe (even with the heat, the door looked like it could be opened from the outside and I was terrified of rodents). You get a teeny kitchenette and very small fridge. Thankfully, a tower fan was provided which was the only silver lining.

O apartamento é muito bonito, limpo e bem decorado, com móveis novos e tudo muito cheiroso. A iluminação natural é ótima, e o ambiente é bastante agradável visualmente. Também conta com itens que facilitam bastante a estadia, como frigobar, chaleira elétrica e micro-ondas. No entanto, achei o espaço pequeno demais para estadias mais longas — acomoda bem por até 5 dias, mas é difícil organizar os pertences pessoais por conta da falta de espaço. Outro ponto negativo é o calor: o prédio todo pareceu mal preparado para o verão. A janela abria apenas cerca de 5cm, o que dificultava a ventilação. Pedi um ventilador e fui muito bem atendido pela equipe, que foi rápida e prestativa, mas infelizmente o ventilador só circulava o ar quente, sem resolver o problema. No geral, é uma boa opção para estadias curtas, especialmente em épocas mais amenas.

My room 205 was clean and comfortable but pretty small . Good for one person and Perfect for a short stay. The coffee bar, microwave, mini fridge, and complementary tea and coffee was a nice touch. No elevator, which can be difficult with big luggage. Be sure to download the BOB. W app for easy check-in, door code and to unlock your room because of keyless function.

Efficient hotel in a great location. Unfortunately my room was extremely hot (end of April), a fan was provided which alleviated it to some degree.

As a last minute booking I found the checking in process cumbersome and time comsuming. Apartment is clean enough. However the bathroom is not that great as you can barely reach the toilet as it’s so close to the sink and the shower also doesn’t stay upright.

La habitación estaba bien, con muchos detalles (café, infusiones, tapones para los oídos, esterilla de yoga, discos desmaquillantes y bastoncillos para los oídos...). Como puntos negativos, el ruido que había (ventanas nada insonorizadas, con lo que en nuestra habitacion que da a a la calle el ruido para dormir era tremendo). También que hacía demasiado calor en la habitación y no se podia ventilar.

Man hat alles, was man für einen Städtetrip braucht, weshalb es auch in Ordnung ist, dass das Zimmer ziemlich klein ist, da sich eh nur zum Schlafen dort aufgehalten wird. Nur der Lärm von der Straße ist relativ laut, sodass das bei leichtem Schlaf stören könnte.

It takes a bit to get used to lack of hotel staff as everything is through your phone but bob w does contact you through whatsapp amd gives youbthe codes to your room and tips for your stay. there is a bus near that takes you to the train where you can access most landmarks in the city.
