Awful
Pros:

Nothing.

Cons:

The room was long and thin with low units sticking out at head height. My husband hit his head a few times. No wardrobe or draws, no desk or chair and no pictures.

Wir würden dieses Hotel erneut buchen, allerdings unter besonderer Beachtung der Lage des Zimmers.
Pros:

Frühstück (gegen gesonderte Bezahlung) war gut. Die Lage des Hotels ist prima.

Cons:

Wir waren in diesem Hotel bereits schon einmal und mit der Lage des Zimmers (10. OG) sehr zufrieden. Das über booking.com angemietete Zimmer befand sich im 3. OG und hatte nahezu kein Tageslicht wegen einer haushohen Mauer direkt vor dem Zimmerfenster.

Pros:

Duży dość czysty pokój.
Fajnie, że drobne rzeczy (np. Papier toaletowy) były dostępne na korytarzu w szufladach.

Cons:

KARALUCHY. przez 3 noce pobytu widzieliśmy je 2x. Raz OLBRZYMI tuż po przyjezdzie do hotelu, biegał w lobby - od razu zgłosiłam recepcji, wtedy myślałam jeszcze, że może wpadł z ulicy. Dwa dni później na śniadaniu biegał po stoliku z sokami. Znowu na parterze, więc była szansa że również z dworu ale widzę w innej opinii że biegał u kogoś w pokoju na 11 piętrze... U nas na szczęście w pokoju nie było.
Śniadania ok, bez szału.
Suszarka do prania nie do końca wysuszyła ubrania.

Pros:

The accommodation close to city, easy to move around, catching the Light rails into town hall and city central.

Cons:

The bed smells as you enter the main entrance.
The sewerage smells in level 3 where you enter the gym to do laundry.
The dryer is set for 60minutes and still could not fully dry. I had to pay another $5.00 more to fully dry my laundry.
House keeping didn't come on the 4th day of our stay to clean room. Damp towels, nowhere to air dry. We also had a coachroach in our room which was at level 11.
