Good Time Aparthotel

I haven't even gone to bed and I'm disappointed. The apartment has a number of lights that won't turn on so it's pretty dark in the large living room, and it's very cold. When I called the reception to complain, the woman said everything must be in order because it was when they cleaner came earlier, and in any case she couldn't do anything now. She also insisted the apartment was at 18 degrees, which is the minimum legal temperature for hotel rooms (!). It was very cold, we sat in our coats. Finally I had the idea to turn on the oven and leave the door open, as a last resort to warm up a bit. (Also: the wifi is very spotty, and the outlets are ridiculously positioned above my height over the couch, nowhere near the table where one would want to work with a computer). This isn't what I expect for 250 PLN.

I've not used accommodation similar to The Good Time Aparthotel in the UK. It's not a hotel, nor an air B & B, but has advantages of both. It's greatest asset is location together with a building full of character making it a great place to stay. The building clearly had a former use and retains some of the original features. It's at the centre of Lodz's evening culture, bars and restaurants / cafés are close to hand, but it still manages to preserve a quiet relaxed atmosphere. Breakfast is available amongst a wide choice of nearby venues and the rooms are equipped for basic self catering. Lack of a lift means tackling the dated stairs. (I was on the third floor). English speaking staff are helpful and friendly. Overall an interesting and convenient place to stay which I enjoyed visiting.

This place is lovely and in the main street of Lodz. + lovely athmostphere + great location, the main street of Lodz + small, stylish and tidy room + good mattress + small fridge and kettle + many restaurants and shops just outside of the place. - no fan or AC ＞ hot inside at night - area is noisy until restaurants close as there are many restaurants on the street AND on the inner courtyard - you can hear all noise also from the stairs and corridors, would be good to remind people to be quiet when they get back there at nigh - if a professional place like this ask customers sign different papers those should be also translated in some other languages too (can't expect people to be fluent in Polish)

Do not be fooled by the high ranking..it is not #1 in Łódź. I knew it was too good to be true for the price we paid ($50/night). The hotel is inside this old wooden house, so everything squeaks. Soundproofing is terrible, as you can hear your neighbors walking. The bathroom had this weird smell, and it is possible due to the vent cover that fell during the first minute that we stepped into the room. We also didn’t have hot water during our stay (we tried both the night time and the day after). There are five parking spots right outside the hotel at 27 zlotys. But there is no reservation system, so if you take your car out of the lot, it is hard to know if the spot will be there when you return. It poured during the one night we were staying; we asked for an umbrella, but the hotel didn’t have any. If there are worrying about people stealing it, they can ask for a deposit. But not having something as essential as an umbrella just dumbfounded me. The room wasn't very clean as I spotted spider web. The only positive thing about this hotel was the location, but I would recommend staying elsewhere if you are looking for a restful stay.
