I had a disappointing stay at Hotel Augustus. Despite its convenient location and acceptable breakfast (if you wake up early enough for the omelet), several issues marred my experience.
The presence of a roach in my bathroom indicated poor cleaning. The WiFi was virtually useless, disconnecting every minute, and the air conditioning unit, mounted on hastily nailed wooden boards, disrupted my sleep.
The beds were extremely uncomfortable, with rock-hard mattresses only covered by a thin sheet. Even after requesting extra blankets, I needed medication to sleep. The bathroom disappointed further with moldy tiles and sticky faucets.
Staff provided minimal assistance, notably in printing a final bill for the minibar's exorbitant prices: a few packages of M&Ms and bottles of water cost me $30 USD, as though the snacks were gold and the water was sourced from Mars. Their unhelpfulness extended to providing basic tourist information.
The opulent lobby masks the rooms' disappointing reality. Emperor Augustus would be appalled if he knew the level of comfort his namesake hotel offers.
I advise against making the same mistake I did; stay elsewhere.
