If you need to sleep, DO NOT STAY IN THIS "HOTEL"

If you need to sleep, DO NOT STAY IN THIS "HOTEL"

I booked this trip last minute and decided to try out the Urban to save some money. What a mistake. Of the 8 hours of sleep I attempted to get, I actually slept about 50% of the time.

The walls, floors, and ceilings are so thin that if someone is normally walking around above you or talking at above a whisper you can hear everything. And I mean EVERYTHING. Unfortunately I had a loud, drunk group directly above me. Called management multiple times over the course of the 2 hours (2-4am) they were making noise, keeping in mind quiet hours start at 10pm, and management didn't do anything. Eventually the group passed out and I was able to continue sleeping...for a little bit.

Further interruptions included doors slamming (all the doors automatically slam shut, loudly) and my snoring neighbor (yes, walls are that thin), and even my white noise app and ear plugs couldn't drown this out.

It also got pretty hot because, surprise, I couldn't open the window because of all the courtyard and street noise.

Lastly, keycard stopped working post-shower, so got to go to reception in my towel. Great way to close out my stay.

Long story short, this is the worst hotel or hostel I've ever stayed at in my life, and I hope they go out of business very quickly so others can avoid similar nightmares.
