Enjoyed our stay this is our 3rd time. We found it a little bit expensive for the comfy room we had snd a little dated.
Pros:

Location, staff. The snacks and drinks are a welcome after a lot of walking

Cons:

Not having a kettle to make a cup of tea on a morning, having to go to the basement, make your drink then bring it back up in the elevator there were tea facilities in reception but only special blends, no normal English tea and a lot of times no milk. The coffee machine in the room didn’t work properly so it would of been nice to be able to make tea and have a kettle with a little selection of normal tea/coffee milk & sugar which is normal in a lot of hotels

Hotel bien ubicado, de baja categoría, con habitaciones pequeñas y mal ambientadas, poco personal
Pros:

Tenía un sistema de bebidas gratis en el lobby o entrada del hotel

Cons:

El hotel es chico, decoración antigua y poco personal. Cierran el hotel a las 11 y hay que tocar el timbre! Habitaciones pequeñas, mal decoradas y no es más que un 2 ó 3 estrellas… no vale los 480 euros que pagamos la noche… una estafa! Por ese precio puedes irte a un hotel de lujo ( las fotos no tienen nada que ver con la realidad)

Pros:

Central to all Amdam.
Loved the breakfast lady - warm friendly and honest.

Cons:

Asked for feather free room - al pillows were down.
Was offered a ‘pillow me u’ which doesn’t exist - staff ran out to buy two hypoallergenic pillows.
Was offered an early checking as we arrived from a long haul flight at 10h30 - only to be told that the room wasn’t ready until 3pm and no notification of the same beforehand.
Hotel manager seems to not know what is going on.
We’re given an upgraded as our room wasn’t ready until
