So much design that it doesn't work
Yotel looks promising when you enter; all that crome and funky stuff, old bicycles hanging from the ceiling and what have you. But once you get to your room, your "cabin", you discover that it's tiny and doesn't have a single table to put your laptop on. The toilet/shower area has no door, just flimsy curtains. There is a transparent sliding door to the toilet, one that doesn't close entirely and you might as well do your business outside the room as everything is audible and visible to the rest of the people in the room. My daughter and I decided to take turns, while one had a shower and went to the toilet, the other one went down to the lobby. The beds are hard as concrete and the bunk bed above the queen size bed didn't even have proper bedding- a nasty polyester blanket instead of a duvet cover. Hideous. And cleaning in the morning; that proved to be difficult. We went out for 3-4 hours in the morning and left the sign on the door handle saying "please clean the room", but when we came back it was just as we had left it. I dashed down to the reception and complained and they promised to "sort it out". The restaurant doesn't serve breakfast after 10 o'clock, actually at 10.30 we were offered coffee and from the menu all kinds of Oriental dishes, like Sushi and stuff. So we had to go to Starbucks. In a way the hotel seems promising with that modern look, something different and green. The front staff was helpful, but when I came down and complained about something, such as cleaning, other people were complaining about the same thing. It seems like things don't work like they should do at this hotel and all these flaws are camouflaged by the funky appearance. Stupid tourists are easily trapped, I suppose. Certainly I am no exception.
