Timhotel Nation

near the metro station.

didn’t had air conditioner, had to open the windows to sleep. it was loud at night. you could hear the people in the next room.

The location is great, the main station Nation is about 5 min walking Supermarket and some fresh pastry shops are near.

It was a bit expensive, however, I guess we were when all fashion week shows were.

All the staff we encountered during our stay were very helpful and pleasant. The room was small but tidy. The shower was excellent very powerful and with plenty of hot water. The bathroom was very clean and there was plenty of toilet paper provided, along with shower gel/shampoo and soap. The bed was comfortable and the linen very good. I was pleasantly surprised that the towels were changed every day. Decent TV and having a kettle was useful. The Hotel is very close to a Metro stop on the M2 line and had many restaurants/bars nearby as well as late-closing convenience stores and takeaways. It also has an excellent bakery next door and a bus stop outside. There was also a very large flea market "Brocante" just up the road on Sunday which was a lovely bonus. We were also allowed to leave our suitcases at the hotel after we had checked-out which was very handy on our last day.

The lift was broken for the last day of our stay. The hotel is, unfortunately, on a busy road so it was very noisy at night because the windows do not block out the noise. The toilet roll holder was hanging off the wall and the decor was a little tired. Although the room appeared clean, I found a discarded cigarette butt on the carpet under the window and there was a lot of dust behind the fire on the wall. The electronic safe in the wardrobe did not work as the battery was flat (no power) which meant we could not leave our valuables/passports locked up. There was no room for bedside cabinets but small shelves under the bedside lights would have been useful for keys/phones. We did not eat breakfast in the hotel so cannot judge but thought 14 Euros per person was very expensive. The excellent bakery next door provided us with a lovely breakfast at a fraction of the cost. It would also have been nice if there were ordinary tea bags provided for the room as there was just Nescafé and herbal tea. Also not enough milk was provided (just enough for one cup). I was sorry to see so much single-use plastic (plastic teaspoons and plastic cups in the bathroom) - these should be replaced with wooden stirrers and paper cups (like those provided for the coffee) which are more environmentally friendly.
