LikedAVOID THIS PROPERTY

DislikedHotel Orpheus is a facade for a brothel. Read all the comments!! It’s not a single incident, you’ll find a pattern for years!! Once you arrive, they will inform you that they have a problem (but didn’t say what it is exactly) and will send you off to another sister hotel (Lido Hotel). The route between both hotels was 7 mins, but it was filled with tens of junkies, doing all sorts of drugs on the side road, and using syringes, or collecting garbage of the floor. I was truly scared!! Not because any of them tried to approach me, but because I was easily outnumbered. Outside both hotels there were prostitutes waiting for clients. Men all around the block would look at me and scan me (literally) to figure out if I am a prostate or client or just a hotel guest. The hotel itself was ok. But the toilet had no seat, no curtains, and you have to hold the shower head by hand. The balcony has very bad sound insulation, you can hear everything outside in the street. Soundproofing between rooms is almost non-existent. I couldn’t sleep because the family next door were hand-washing all their clothes in the bathtub until 3 am!! And I could even hear the conversations they were having together, on the phone, or when their baby cried. Doors were opening and closing in the corridors ALL NIGHT LONG. Between not being able to sleep, and actually being scared about my safety, I spent one of the worst nights of my life.

LikedIt is quite central for the price it has

DislikedWhen I arrived, I went directly to the location provided in booking, and I found a brothel, the whole street was full of company girls, just when I arrived a taxi stopped right in front and started arguing in a very bad way with one of them. , my face was contorted, I didn't know what to do. Then it is true that they changed my stay. I had to arrive early at the hotel or be making video calls all the time when I was on the way to it, there are many people who give a bad vibe, it is not suitable for children, and they have to be careful with their bags because even if they are not violent, some they are too curious

LikedI liked that I felt safe in the hotel as female traveller

Dislikedthe property is good but the area is a bit unsafe, lot of homeless people and drunk people around, which makes it difficult to go out at night
