Avoid at All Costs – Deceptive Staff, Miserable Stay
Hotel Alpina was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. The front desk staff outright lies to your face — claiming someone is “inspecting the room” just to avoid letting you in before the 3 PM check-in, even when the room is clearly ready. Zero flexibility, zero hospitality.
The room itself? Tiny, claustrophobic, and stifling — there’s no air conditioning, and the space is barely livable. The bathroom is so cramped that two people can’t even brush their teeth at the same time. It’s like staying in a closet.
The elevator fits one person with a bag (barely), and the hotel is located on an incredibly noisy street where people yell and fight well into the night. It feels like a total ghetto.
Do not be fooled by any photos or reviews — stay far away from this place. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone, not even for one night.
