The cleanliness of the beds and mattresses received positive remarks, with clean linen and freshly made beds contributing to the comfort of the stay. While some rooms are described as spacious with adequate natural light and even shared balconies, others are housed in the basement, which might be less appealing due to cooler temperatures.

The level of cleanliness seemed to vary significantly among different stays—some rooms were noted to be very clean, while others had issues with maintenance, such as torn wallpaper and non-functional fixtures. Moreover, reports of broken furniture and poorly maintained rooms were not uncommon, and some guests felt the actual conditions of the rooms did not match the photos.
