The hotel is good for a short stay. We stayed in an executive room for 6 days during a business trip, which is too long to stay at this hotel, because of the following reasons:
- the neighborhood is not safe. We stayed in this neighborhood 10 years ago, and felt safe back then. But now it feels dangerous, it’s much dirtier than it used to be, and very loud during nighttime. People yell in the streets, there are lots of beggars hanging around the area, and lots of police cars and/or ambulances with loud alarms all night long.
- The room was large and good, and the mattress and pillows were excellent too. But it wasn’t very clean. I think they never vacuum the carpeted floor, as our feet were completely dirty after walking barefoot in the room. Good thing they gave us free slippers, which we kept wearing all the time during our stay.
- The A/C worked well, but was a bit too cold for us (it was not possible to turn it above 18 degrees Celsius).
- the water temperature of the shower was too low. We waited long but it never got warmer than 38 degrees. It was OK, since it was very hot outside (35-38 degrees), but I wonder whether it gets warmer during wintertime?
- Breakfast is included in the price and was OK, but again, for 2-3 days. We stayed for 6 days, and got the same choice for breakfast every single day.
All in all, Gioberti Art Hotel was OK, but I wouldn’t go back because the neighborhood is not safe anymore.
