Bolgen Culture House

There’s no reception. It’s all online checking. The noise from the street was very loud and I wasn’t able to fall asleep.

The place was spacious as we had the two bedrooms. The apartment had natural cooling, which was ok as it wasn’t as hot while we were there and cooled pretty good with the windows opened. The kitchen was okay stocked, but didn’t have a few essentials like oven mitts and dish towel or cloth. Place was equipped with soaps and a few pods for dishwasher and one for washing machine. It does take some time to dry, but we hung some clothes up and they dried overnight. We were able to access key cards into building and room okay. It did take some time to hear back on the luggage room code, the messenging system seems automated, but we finally got through. There was bad reception in the basement as well. Overall a good stay. Location was close to grocery store and a relatively short 10 minutes walk from the train station. Some music at night, but wasn’t bad on weekdays. Sundays are quiet. The view was nice and so is the roof top patio.

The good: I like the size of our room and the balcony. Beautiful view from the 11th floor! Very quiet. Breakfast was one of the best ever in a hotel. The bad: I didn’t like the duvet because it sounded like crinkle plastic inside when you moved and the toilet continued to run after flushing. The ugly: There were tiles broken off and missing from the wall in the bathroom. It was showing some wear and tear that’s easy to fix, a bit of deferred maintenance there. I noticed it but it didn’t bother me. Conclusion: Since the duvet was uncomfortable, I would NOT want to stay in that hotel again. That is because the quality of sleep is more important to me than all the good points.
