Hotel Ambrosiano

So much is wrong with this hotel that its hard knowing where to begin. First things first, I like to leave spare cash and passports in the room safe, but the room safe is just a box on the desk that could just as easily be picked up and stolen with my valuables in it, so we ended up risking it and carrying everything on us. The room is small, no nice view, no balcony and overall very unpleasant. The bathroom is small with mould growing in places. The supplied shampoo was a cheap all in one wash and conditioner. The self service, very basic breakfast was monitored by very rude staff who reminded us at a few minutes past 9am that it was closed and we had to leave, even turning the lights out. The evening food was cold and tasteless, served by people with clearly no training on waiting table, again rude and aggressive when questioned and offering the most expensive bottles of cheap wine I have ever seen. One evening after dinner we were relaxing with another couple, and several bottles of their very cheap but expensive to buy wine when we were told the lounge was closing at midnight so we must leave. Speaking to other guests I was told that when asking if they could have the use of a corkscrew to open a bottle of wine to drink on their balcony, they were told that this was not allowed, and another couple related that when they asked to have tea/coffee replenished in their room that a 5 euro fee would be charged. On the plus side, the reception were helpful with directions when we needed to get around, but overall this hellhole is best avoided and no way on earth worth more than one star.

The room was clean but the bathroom had a bad smell
