Beds

When it comes to the beds at Alma, the reviews are pretty mixed. Some guests found the mattresses uncomfortable, small and with a poor quality while others had no complaints at all and found them very comfortable. There were unfortunately some reports of dirty mattresses with bugs and even blood stains on the sheets, along with a smell of cigarette smoke in some of the rooms. However, some guests had positive experiences with spacious rooms and basic but comfortable beds. One guest even found the bed to be more comfortable than it looked. It's important to note that some guests also had issues with the cleanliness of the rooms with reports of unclean bed sheets and towels and in a few cases, the presence of bed bugs and ticks.

Cleanliness

If you're looking for a clean and comfortable stay, Alma might not be the best choice based on many of the guest reviews. However, there are some positive phrases about the cleanliness of the hotel, such as "salle de bain, serviettes et draps propres" (clean bathroom, towels and sheets), "c'etait assez propre" (it was quite clean) and "sheets were clean". Unfortunately, these phrases are far outweighed by negative comments, including dirty rooms, stinky bathrooms with mold, peeling wallpaper and blood or bug stains on the sheets. Some guests even reported seeing cockroaches and bedbugs. The smell of cigarette smoke seems to be a common complaint. Overall, the hotel appears to be in need of a deep and thorough cleaning.

There were also several complaints about the staff's lack of friendliness and professionalism. Despite this, there were still several positive mentions of friendly, helpful and cordial staff members, particularly Nanana, Giovanni and the night lady. Guests have also appreciated the central location of the hotel and the luggage storage service. It is worth noting, however, that the hotel is located in a shady alleyway with a rough atmosphere at night. Overall, while some guests have found the staff to be unpleasant, others have had more positive experiences and the staff's availability and helpfulness have been praised.
