Review of Aquarius Hotel 2*

Giving this place 1 star is a disgrace to other 1 star hotels and here is why. My girlfriend and I booked a room there and yes we know it's a really cheap hotel but this place is something special and definitely not in a good way. Let me paint you a picture. The area is actually great, it's really near a metro and close to the city. When you go into the hotel you find yourself in a very shallow, tiny dark hall that smells like it hasn't seen a vacuum or experienced any cleaning since Winston Churchill. When you get the keys from the clerk you venture up tiny old stairs that feel like they would break every step. The rooms are the highlight of the hotel, they are the Taj Mahal, the crown jewl best of the best. When you open the door you will find yourself looking at a tiny, dirty room. Not tiny and dirty like the hall or the stairs, this is a new level of tiny and dirty. The room is so small that it will make a Alcatraz prison cell look like a mansion, and a clean one that is. There is a small window, to dirty to actually look out, but still it's there, not to let in the light but the wonderful music of the metro passing by every 2-3 minutes. If you somehow manage to crawl over the bed and get to the bathroom you will find it quite artistic, it's carefully but thoroughly covered in mold. Oh yes, I totally forgot to mention that there are also a few mouse traps in your room, as long a u don't mind a bit mouse poison I believe they will be a important friend for your entire stay. This review may sound like a joke, a horror story, a fiction but it's not. It's real and it's out there. We were there 04-2015 and only stayed for a hour or 2. That place is so disgusting that it should be closed by a bulldozer.
