The room was not clean.
Google Maps Top complaints
A very big warning against the Da Vinci Hotel, which will be quite difficult to find as their quite dirty old front is somewhat hidden in the quite dirty street they're located in, and doesn’t reflect their prices.
Google Maps Top complaints
As the hotel has a restaurant in the basement and is old and unmaintained, the pests come up to the rooms and there was a quite large cockroach in my room.

Representative review quotes

These excerpts show the review language behind the measured signal.

Google Maps Complaint quote
Unfortunately, it seems like this hotel does not guarantee the cleaning of rooms.

Review rating: 1.0

Google Maps Praise quote
It seems like during the daytime one is reserved exclusively for usage of cleaning staff (and they should be appreciated, so this isn’t a knock against them), which means there was only one running elevator - at least when I was there one week ago.

Review rating: 4.0

Tripadvisor Praise quote
Lastly, we saw one of the ladies who cleans the rooms in our hallway as we were leaving and she saw the “no cleaning/do not disturb” sign on our door knob and so she asked us if we would at least like some fresh towels, which I thought was so nice.
