There was scaffolding in front of the hotel the entire time. Right at the start of my stay I was informed that there would be no water in the hotel between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m., which I'm sure I knew when I booked. One evening my things had been taken down from the windowsill and all the windows had been opened - so that you could get into the room from outside. The workmen, who had already been standing outside my room in the morning, some of them smoking (I was also surrounded by a construction site a**osphere and unrest in the hostel hallway), had wanted to paint the windows. It felt like strangers had rummaged through my things, which is kind of true. The next day they said again that the windows should be painted, but they wanted to wait until the next day because I would be leaving then. Nevertheless, the windows had been painted (from the outside) in the evening, my room smelled of paint and I couldn't air it out because that would have allowed even more paint fumes into the room. There was no other room available and I would have had to pay for other accommodation myself.
Everyone was sorry, but no one seemed to have the situation under control, because it was not a case of force majeure but of construction site management.
The room should not have been rented out, and a discount was only available upon request. It was like an experiment to see how far you could go with guests. It's a shame that I had to deal with something like that on vacation.
