  In Desperate Need of Updating

  19 Dec 2024

  My husband was happy with the cost of this place, but you truly get what you pay for. The place is horribly dated and drab. The heat is off when you arrive, so it's cold. The sofa bed is not very comfortable - the mattress is very thin.The kitchenette is small but functional. There is a microwave. Secure underground parking available for 8€/ night. Free toiletries include: bath gel/ shampoo combo, body lotion.

  Read this before you book – you’ll thank me for it…

  The residence was easy to find and wasn’t far from the city centre, but was situated a stone’s throw from an extremely busy railway line and sidings. Checking-in was straightforward and the guy on Reception made a real effort to communicate in English. We paid for the room and for private underground parking @ 9 euros a night and we were pleasantly surprised to find how easy the access was to the car park. A word of caution though – we were in a long wheelbase Mercedes and we grounded on the ramp – could have been nasty if we had got more weight in the car. The car park had direct access to Reception and there were lifts to all floors. So far so good.On entry to the room we noticed immediately that there was a strong smell of damp and that it in no way resembled the photos on Booking.com. We passed through a miniscule kitchenette with a pedal bin backed by stained wallpaper, and into a bedroom so full of cobwebs that it was like a 1950’s horror film set. Spider webs in the corners, above the bed and at ceiling level everywhere. The main light shade was full of dead insects and one of the chairs was badly stained. Tops of the door frames were grimy and obviously hadn’t been cleaned this century. The main window had no security opening option so was impossible to have open without risking getting our throats cut whilst we slept.Being seasoned world travellers and familiar with second-class foreign accommodation we opted to make the most of it and chalk it down to experience, but our patience reached the limit when my wife had a quick shower and I followed to find that the water was stone-cold. Upon complaining to Reception we were told that ‘the rooms have individual water reservoirs’ and we ‘would have to wait two hours for the water to warm up.’ Unacceptable in 2022, as was the Receptionist’s suggestion that we could change rooms for an additional 100 euros.Faced with having to try to find alternative accommodation in Metz city centre at short notice during the Christmas Market period, we had little choice but to make the most of it. Booking.com were completely useless – said that they would speak to the hotel management but then came back to us saying that there was nothing that they could do. Hot running water on

  Noisy

  So much noise. Announcements from the train station at insane volumes, while windows are impossible to close. Only slept for a few hours per night, since the noise from the train station takes place between 6 in the morning and 1 at night.

  Worst nights sleep of my life

  27 Jul 2018

  The place itself is fine however the rooms are stifling hot- you cannot sleep. Large window which we opened but room backed onto train line and the noise was deafening. Cheap room but when you add parking and breakfast it’s not worth the money- never would I stay here again.
