Hotel Sphinx

Incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Great location

Shower drain was super slow. No AC in the middle of a heat wave.

Location was great. Easy Metro journey to/from Central Station - the terminal is barely 2-minutes' walk. Likewise for the tram network. I felt welcome - it was a hot day and the chap on Reception immediately offered me a much-needed drink. Room was spacious, clean and comfortable - and surprisingly cool considering the record heatwave! Couldn't ask for more, and hope to stay again.

Not an issue for me, but the narrow curved stairs to the downstairs rooms could be a problem for any guests with reduced mobility.

The hotel is pretty basic but allows 24hr keyless entry and is located close to a train and tram station for easy movement. A supermarket is also located very close to the hotel and many restaurants and bars are in close vicinity.

The size of the rooms are very small so ask for a room in the basement level as they are more comfortable. No breakfast is offered and the amenities are very basic. Also the stairs are very steep and the prices can be a bit on the high side especially for weekend stays.

Near the city centre, with good restaurants nearby. Cost-effective vs others. The staff was helpful. The room was clean. They have a hair dryer! The water is warm enough to take a bath. They have free coffee in the morning.

Steers are a trip hazard. I was on the 3rd floor and climbing up to the 3rd floor with a suitcase, it's like climbing K2. The whole place is a massive "trip hazard! If you have a heart problem or you have big feet, don't rent this, you won't reach the 3rd floor! Health & Safety first folks!
