La recepcionista habla algo español y es muy simpática. Es una zona que no es muy aconsejable pasear por la noche, la zona está bien comunicada y las instalaciones del hotel están bien, la habitación muy limpia aunque un poco antigua pero cómoda.El bufet está muy bien no le falta de nada.

Cons:

Una de las camas el colchón está hundida

Ωραία θέα από το roof garden
Pros:

Δωμάτιο τόσο όσο! Το πρωινό πολλή καλό! Το Restaurant του 7 ου ορόφου έχει καταπληκτική θέα!

Cons:

Η περιοχή το βράδυ είναι περίεργη, το πάρκινγκ του ξενοδοχείου είναι παρα πολλη στενό και κλειστοφοβικό!

Good location and city view
Pros:

Location was great, nice rooftop lounge

Cons:

Wasn’t that comfortable for my liking. Room was small for 3 people, no bed side tables to put down our gadgets in other to charge them. Infact room facilities are nothing to write home about.

Za ta cenę ok
Pros:

Pokój był codziennie sprzątany. Ręczniki wymieniane. Można zostawić bagaże. Pod hotelem wejście do metra.

Cons:

Śniadania przeciętne. Obsługa ponura, nie zawsze schludna. Trzeba poprosić o cytrynę, arbuza, warzywa. Kawa rozpuszczalna z ekspresu.
Hotel jest stary i zeksplatowany.

Bon rapport qualité prix
Pros:

Bon rapport qualité prix, bon petit dejeuner
Possibilité de se garer en souterrain pour 10€ par jour

Cons:

La localisation force à passer par des ruelles délabrées, et craignos surtout le soir, pour se rendre au centre. L’ascenseur fonctionne peu, tres capricieux

Great!
Pros:

Great location near the subway/metro station. The rooms are very clean. Daily cleaning and housekeeping. Kind staff. Very good breakfast. At night, we go up to the roof and have something to eat or drink. Good air conditioning. Overall, it was a great experience.

Cons:

The only disadvantage is that the beds were not so comfortable.
The beds were hard and we could not sleep well. The escalator is narrow; it can hardly have room for 4 persons. The tub in the bathroom does not have curtain rather a glass which slips water and it gets wet.

Pros:

It was clean and the suff was friendly. There is a nice bakery shop downstairs open 24/7 and a good coffee shop next to the subway station.

Cons:

It was very noisy. The area is not safe but you wouldn't know until you get there. The room is quite old.
