Hotel Victori: not really a winner. This hotel exemplified the principle that solo travellers need to brace themselves for a raw deal. I'm average height; when I stood in the middle of my room I could have touched both walls if my finger nails had been a couple of millimetres longer. It was lit by a single light, tucked behind the curtain rail. There was a bedside light but it didn't work. That's the kind of thing you'd mention at reception - if there was one. There was a reception desk but I never saw anyone behind it, even during the hours it claims to be attended. The only staff were the cleaners (who were very nice and very good).
Basically, the Victori is a kind of autonomous motel with a contemporary interior. In the absence of staff, it supplies you with a Whatsapp message containing the codes for entry to the building and your room. It's clean and modern. The pictures it displays are accurate, though they fail to show the cell-like single rooms (see mine). But it's a sterile place that fulfils in a very literal way the time-worn consolation on finding your hotel to be disappointing: it's "just somewhere to sleep".
