Beds
Butterfly House offers a mixed experience when it comes to the comfort of its beds. On the positive side, many guests have highlighted the comfort of the wide beds and sofas, equipped with comfortable mattresses, which provide a cozy sleeping arrangement for most visitors. The hotel ensures that the bedding is freshly washed after each guest's stay, which is particularly reassuring for those concerned with cleanliness.
However, there are areas that can be improved to enhance guest satisfaction. Some guests have reported discomfort due to old and sagging mattresses, and mismatched or too small bed sheets. The pillows were also noted to be flat or limp, lacking sufficient support, and having fillings that might have passed their prime. In a few instances, the bed itself had structural issues, with one even collapsing under a guest. Additionally, some guests found the blankets short, which might not be conducive to a comfortable night's sleep.
While Butterfly House does indeed have some strengths regarding their bedding, addressing these noted concerns could bring the hotel closer to providing a consistently superior guest experience.
Cleanliness
Butterfly House has garnered mixed reviews when it comes to cleanliness, with many visitors expressing disappointment in this regard. Guests have described the cleanliness of the hotel as questionable, citing issues such as dirty toilets, bathroom mirrors, and general disarray within the apartments. Complaints include inadequate bedding, with concerns about the cleanliness and condition of sheets, duvet covers, and pillowcases, many of which appeared worn out and stained.
In addition to unhygienic bedding, guests reported encountering spider webs, dirty dishes, and dead insects. They also faced problems with blocked drains and unpleasant smells from the water, which added to an overall impression of neglect. Issues such as dusty rooms, overflowing trash cans, and a lack of basic amenities like a floor brush were mentioned, underscoring a lack of attention to detail in housekeeping.
However, amidst these criticisms, some guests noted that certain aspects of the rooms met cleanliness expectations, particularly in relation to clean bedding. Although there was dissatisfaction with the general upkeep, the tranquil atmosphere and impressive views from the windows of Butterfly House seemed to provide some respite from the issues highlighted.
Overall, those considering a stay should be aware of potential shortcomings in cleanliness, as described by previous visitors, while keeping in mind that the location provides a serene setting and captivating vistas.
