Hotel Ferretti

Decent location. Not far from the center.

We were at first welcomed with a strong smell of sewage within our room- we had asked the second night for another room albeit the request was a bit late on our end, and the employee insisted all rooms were the same anyway, which would imply so is the consistent smell. On top of that, the room conditions were deplorable. There was a thick smell of mold coming in from the wardrobe with extra blankets- Both nights our noses were extremely stuffy and we struggled to sleep with the smell. The manager was very rude, and had the audacity to declare that we can't expect much from a 1 star hotel. I think it's extremely fair to expect not such a health hazard such as mold 5 metres from the bed, regardless of the level that the hotel is in. It is absurd to insist the room is clean if there is a serious strong presence of mold. Vents in the shower were also dusty- in spite of daily room service. The manager didn't even speak English properly and she was extremely rude when we voiced our complaints, insisting that the bed was clean, as if that justifies the dirtiness of the rest of the room! When we showed her the blatantly moldy wardrobe, all she said was we had a good reason to be upset about it and didn't offer any compensation. The man of the reception, in spite of trying to be understanding, didn't seem to care much as he seemed to consistently repeat that there was nothing he could do about it, and tried to redirect the conversation by stating the amount of negative reviews he receives every month being around 3. The reason they make you pay in advance is because they know that no visitor would be sane enough to stay for more than one night , if not for an hour, as the sleeping conditions are anything but acceptable. If we hadn't paid in advance, we would have packed our luggage straight away upon arrival to find another hostel or hotel with better conditions. Health inspection should check up on the hostel immediately.
