Överpris, ohjälpsam personal, varmt som fan, skitdåligt badrum
Pros:

Bra område, nära till allt.
Bra caféer i närheten av hotellet för enklare frukost.
Natt-receptionisten var väldigt trevlig (ung kille)!

Cons:

Rummet är inte som på bilderna! Gammalt och slitet. Finns säkert 1 renoverat rum, kolla sista bilderna på booking för att se vad du faktiskt får.

Ingen air condition - 27 grader i rummet dygnet runt. Det fanns en liten fläkt men med alldeles för kort sladd, när jag bad om förlängning så tittade hon i receptionen under bänken lite snabbt och sa sedan att det inte fanns.
Handfatet var uppdelat varmt eller kallt. Så antingen iskallt eller så varmt att du behövde uppsöka sjukvård.
Otrevlig tjej i receptionen (hon med kort hår). Otroligt dålig service och obrydd när jag informerar om mina problem, gjorde ingenting för att lösa till exempel en förlängningssladd till fläkten, ingen återkoppling på att skicka en tekniker som kunde titta på vattnet osv. En robot kunde gjort hennes jobb (checka in och checka ut folk).
Duschen endast fast dusch-huvud, ingen möjlighet att endast duscha kroppen till exempel om man är tjej och har långt hår.

Pros:

Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Die Lage am Rand von Tempel Bar und die Bus Anbindungen gut. Frühstück ist top, leider ohne Kakao.

Cons:

Die Matratzen sind sehr weich und durchgelegen. Am Waschbecken sind die Armaturen zu dicht am Rand, Händewaschen ist kaum möglich. Das Fenster ist nur auf Kipp zu öffnen. Kein deutsches Fernsehprogramm.

Pros:

The property was very well located

Cons:

One evening I was talking to a member of staff at the hotel bar and the hotel manager came to me and asked me if I didn’t have anything else to do besides talking to their staff. I thought that was quite rude. It’s absolutely normal, in my opinion, to talk to the bartender while you are drinking at the hotel bar.
