Reviews of CUBES by Tegetthoff

Location, kitchen looked nice.

No soap, disgusting carpet, cockroaches! I slept alone in a capsule meant for two. It was too hot, with no proper ventilation. Other guests were sleeping with their doors open.

Rooms way smaller than what it looks like in the picture, no air conditioning and we couldn’t sleep the whole night. also we found bugs in the room.

Economy wise good

Area is not good. So much difference between photos and in real

We attempted to check in (well after the specified 15h00 check-in time) and found that our room had been double-booked and given to another gentleman who was already in the room when we got there. It was definitely the room we were assigned in the email from the property, and the code to unlock the door worked so we were not in the wrong place. He also said this was not the first time this has happened. As two females encountering a strange, unclothed man in their room, this was a huge safety concern, and we were left with no room to check into, as we couldn't get hold of anyone until the following morning. We ended up leaving and staying somewhere else. I was promised a refund, but two weeks later I still have yet to receive that. The location also did not seem the safest for a female traveller.

Kitchen and bathrooms were comfortable. Good price, easy to get to the city center.

The stairs to the hotel are very dirty. The carpet in the hotel is dirty. Cockroaches are running around in the hotel. Poison the cockroaches and do something about the dirt, then the hotel format will be good for a low price.

bedbugs

Bathroom and toilet were exceptionally clean and dry. The cleaning staff (girl) were so friendly and very helpful. She was amazing.

Kitchen was very oily and things were not washed well, I think it is because of some guests who didn’t clean with soap probably.

Everythins is beatiful

No clima but they give me fan blover

Everythings is good

No climate, but there is fan blover

The facilities (bathrooms, showers, sinks) and shared areas seem well maintained, even though there's some leakages - nothing that influences you using them. The pods are pretty nice, the "bed" more comfortable than you'd expect, there is two pillows, one more comfortable than the other but nothing special.

The front door of the hostel literally doesn't work. Both nights I got in thanks to someone opening the door from the inside after hearing me struggle. You enter the code and hear a confirmation, that it's unlocked, once you try opening it though, it just won't. If it worked, the system would be great - I was looking forward to the self check-in a lot, as I arrived late. Hopefully it will be fixed soon. Another thing that is bothering is that the air quality inside the pods is basically non-existing. Unless you're really really tired (which to be fair - during my second night I was), you're gonna have a hard time falling asleep. At the end, you will get your value for money, the cheap price isn't for nothing. If you just want to spend a cheap night or maybe two, and don't have trouble falling asleep, go for it. If you find something else at a similar price however, do yourself the favor and take that offer.

why would they not turn the lights off at night

It was insanely hot inside and no air conditioning what so ever. The cubes are really small so if you are claustrophobic I would advise against staying here. Also we found a lot cockroaches in the kitchen and some in bed along side with bedbugs. We left in the middle of the night because of the bugs and overheating and slept in a car, it was a better option. The staff we contacted about these conditions were pleasant, and gave us a partial refund, that is the only reason I gave 2 stars instead of 1.

I liked that is near centre. Comfortable sleeping. Safe place. Toilets and shower were good

Cold water in shower. Stairs to apartment super dirty. Towels with stains. Walls with stains.

It was unbearably hot and stuffy in the booth. Air circulation was not existent, and the 10cm ventilator provided only noise but no airflow - on top of which it wasn't always on. Impossible to sleep without the door wide open which of course puts you at risk.

The Cubes project/design is original for sure. The idea of making big common spaces for co-working is not bad at all, and the room concept is very unique.

Curiously, despite the architect's intentions, it's not easy to keep human contact alive in common spaces. Sometimes the place is really too silent, it's heavy. Also, about Cubes: the abitability of the rooms is really questionable. They don't have windows and the ventilation system is uneffective, expecially with high temperatures. That's a big red flag. The room space is incredibly tiny, expecially for 2 people. If you suffer from claustrophobia, I do not recommend this place. I myself had episodes of claustrophobia in my past (much better now) and was quite shocked at the first sight of the room. Definitely, sleeping with the door open can help a lot.

Nothing

The entrance was filthy, and the ‘room’ was not as advertised at all. The photos make the room seem like it is well lit with natural light, but there are no windows or air flow into the room. The room itself was dirty and it was hot and stuffy in there, after being in there for an hour we decided it wasn’t healthy or comfortable at all to stay there so we had to book another accommodation.

It is way too hot inside the cubes despite ventilation. I was sweating. The ventilation is loud.

Private rooms and plugs with USB-B and USB-C sockets.

Ventilation, lack of fresh air. I was staying over hot nights .
