Norte Guest House

The hotel has a few strong points, but overall the stay was mixed. On the positive side, the bed was comfortable, the shower had excellent water pressure, and the room was very clean. The location is also excellent and puts you right in the middle of restaurants, bars, and city life. Unfortunately, that same location becomes a major downside. The area stays extremely busy late into the night, with loud crowds, street noise, and sirens continuing well past midnight. The hotel’s noise insulation is very poor, so you hear everything both from the street and from inside the building. To make matters worse, there is nearby construction that starts around 7:30 a.m., even on Saturdays, making it difficult to rest. Once the construction slows down, the nightlife noise takes over again. It felt like the city was running a 24-hour percussion concert directly outside the window 🎺🚧 The hotel itself also seems to be in poor condition, with visible issues such as mouldy ceilings. The room was extremely basic, offering only the bare minimum, including a single power outlet. The small TV, around 14 inches, was mounted very high, facing the door instead of the bed, which made it awkward to use. If you are a very heavy sleeper and only care about location, it may work for you. Otherwise, expect noise and a fairly worn-down property.

My stay was OK. I knew I was booking budget friendly accommodations, so I wasn't expecting a 5-star experience, but the most challenging thing about my stay was that the window shutter wouldn't close because I think it is broken (room 206) and the street noise below was quite loud (especially the metal plate clunking when cars drove by) I requested a room change, but the front desk staff was not helpful. All the other aspects of the stay were fine, but you should get the window shutter fixed, and see if there's something that can be done about that metal plate on the road that cars drive over throughout the night.

The location of the hotel is great, handy to metro, tram and a 10minute walk to the airport bus. The room is basic, but reasonable clean. There is a lift, so no problem if you have heavy bags. If you are into wines, the wine shop is amazing, with friendly helpful staff.

there was quite a lot of mildew in the bathroom

Clean and convenient
