Rooms
The reviews for 'Very Hotel' present a mixed picture regarding the rooms. On the positive side, guests have highlighted the attractive and unique room designs with many appreciating the detailed decorations and wall paintings. The rooms are described as beautiful, clean and cozy with some being spacious, well-furnished and tidy. Guests have also complimented the supportive staff and noted that the photos accurately depict the actual rooms.
However, there are recurring concerns about the size and functionality of the rooms. Many guests have mentioned that the rooms are small, narrow and sometimes without windows, which can be uncomfortable for longer stays. The absence of proper closet space, wardrobes or drawers for clothing adds to the cramped feeling. Some guests also reported issues such as dim lighting, inadequate soundproofing and occasional maintenance problems like leaky air conditioners.
Daily cleaning service seems to be inconsistent with some guests experiencing regular cleaning while others did not. Additionally, some rooms were reported as dirty upon arrival with specific complaints about unserviced rooms during the stay. Families found the space insufficient for their needs, noting a lack of basic amenities like a hairdryer and table in some cases.
Overall, 'Very Hotel' appears to have potential, especially for those who value aesthetics and a central location, but the practical aspects of room size and maintenance need attention to enhance guest satisfaction.
Beds
Many guests have praised the beds at Very Hotel for being comfortable, often describing them as very comfortable and paired with good decorations that add to the overall aesthetic. However, the feedback on pillows was mixed with some guests noting issues like discomfort, a serious odor or being too soft, which sometimes led to neck soreness. Additionally, while some guests enjoyed the cozy bedding, there were occasional mentions of thin or slightly dirty bed sheets. Overall, the beds themselves received positive remarks for their comfort, although improvements could be made regarding bedding cleanliness and pillow quality.
Cleanliness
Very Hotel offers an environment that balances aesthetic appeal with a degree of cleanliness that often satisfies its guests with several reviews emphasizing its super clean and very cozy and clean ambiance.

Several positive notes were made about the rooms with mentions of very clean and extremely clean spaces that added to the overall comfort. Friendly staff also contribute positively to the general atmosphere of the hotel.
Despite these positive aspects, there are frequent mentions indicating areas that require significant attention. Bathrooms in particular appear to be less well-maintained with numerous remarks about dirty toilets, mold on the ceiling and air vents full of lint. Guests have also pointed out stained sheets and dirty pillows, which detract from the otherwise clean perception of the rooms.
Instances of specific maintenance issues, like the need for replacing grouting in bathrooms and addressing flooded conditions, were highlighted. Unclean toilets and thin, stained towels have also been noted, suggesting that a more rigorous cleaning routine would benefit the overall guest experience.
In summary, while Very Hotel boasts some clean and appealing areas, there is a clear need to address the cleanliness of bathrooms and bedding to meet the standards expected by guests.
