Albert Hotel

Stayed here as part of a tour/learning group. It was terrible. The bathrooms were so dirty I had a wear shoes because the floor would turn my socks black with dirt. The shower was disgusting (see pictures) and the beds were uncomfortable. When seeing how dirty the bathroom was, I didn't want to think about how dirty the feather duvet or the pillow were. When I checked into my three-bed room, the window was open and I had to climb up on the counter to reach it. With my roommate's help, we had to slam it shut together because it was jammed.

I stayed on the fourth floor (?). The lift only goes up to the first level, so I had to haul my luggage up 78 stairs.

I stayed at the hotel for 10 days. On a Thursday, the battery in the fire detector was dying so the thing would beep every minute. I had to write in the maintenance log about my issue, and I was told it would not be remedied for four days as the maintenance man wouldn't be back to work until Monday. I had to listen to the beeping for four days. The ceiling was too high to reach the detector or I would have changed the darn battery myself!

The only good part about the hotel was the location and that they had free computer access in the mouse-trap laden kitchen/lounge in the basement. Would I stay here again? Not if they paid me!
