Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The room did not appear to be as described or depicted on the website. They said they would change me to a better room in 2 days. However on the Sunday I was awoken with loud drilling the other side of the wall to my bed head. There had been no mention of a building site next door on the hotels.com website. I was asked to go and look at another room which was being cleaned. When I walked in two staff members were sitting on the bed smoking, despite the hotel displaying signs saying strictly no smoking. There was no way I could stay in that room which stank of smoke, but was accommodated eventually in a smaller room away from the building noise. I asked for a part rebate for the lower level room but this was not forthcoming. Beware they have a strict no refund policy and were very hardline in any discussion despite hotels.com trying to advocate for me.

The hotels pictures and reviews are deceiving. The room is tiny, the bathroom is disgusting and the service is horrific. The only positive is the location. There is no one working there (besides someone who comes to clean in the AM) so if you have a problem, you have to hope for an answer via WhatsApp. The first time I messaged them for more towels and toilet paper, they told me I’d have to wait till the next day. The second time I texted them because we were completely out of toilet paper, so they gave me the code to a closet to get more. The closet was double locked with a key so the keypad was useless so we had to use tissues for toilet paper. The shower is horrific. It’s beyond dirty and rusted. It’s totally unacceptable. The bathroom is generally quite worn down. Although we originally thought the price of the hotel was good, the lack of service and overall uncleanliness, makes it seem overpriced for what we got.

Not worth it

Very ran down building. Not a pleasant welcome experience. Checked in after 5 and there was no one at the reception. Room is nicely appointed but TV was not working at all. Do not recommend it.

Great location, comfortable and clean!

I love staying at the David Story Hotel. It is perfectly located, very clean, and exceptonially friendly staff. It is a boutique hotel so I feel like I am 'at home' whenever I stay there. Any hotel near there is twice the price.

Location is great, right near Mamila mall. Plenty of shopping and dining nearby. Room was clean, and bed was great; nice amenities, too. The room overlooked a construction site, which detracted from our experience. Also, the room needed a paint job - there were places where the paint was chipped off. The lock needed to be lubricated. And the light switches were hard to decipher. Overall, a good experience, but not top-notch - but it was definitely a good value for the price!

Property looked nothing like the pictures. No front desk no cleaning staff. The only way to get through to them is through WhatsApp couldn’t speak English and when we confronted them they were extremely rude. It was horrible. I wish I could give it a zero.
