die hygienischen Bedingungen war katastrophe ohne Hilfe zu erhalten
Pros:

Das zimmmer war bei Ankunft ordentlich und sauber und groß

Cons:

Der Abfluss der Dusche war verstopft und trotz ständigen Hinweis bei Reception wurde der Schaden nicht behoben und wir mussten 3 Tage mit einem überflutetem Bad zurecht kommen und konnten natürlich zusätzlich nicht mehr duschen

Pokój nie spełnił oczekiwań – problem z łazienką i czystością
Pros:

Zasłony przeciwsłoneczne, telewizor, kosmetyki w łazience

Cons:

Mój pobyt niestety nie należał do udanych. Opis oferty okazał się mylący – informacja o „prywatnej łazience” sugerowała, że znajduje się ona w pokoju. W rzeczywistości była ona przypisana do nas, ale znajdowała się na korytarzu, co wymagało ciągłego wychodzenia z pokoju i było bardzo niewygodne.

Pros:

Freundliches Personal, Eingangsbereich lud zum verweilen ein.

Cons:

Schmutzige Flure, dreckiger Fahrstuhl. Badezimmer war schmutzig und roch nach Chlor, vermutlich wegen Schimmelentferner, aufgrund vorhandenen Schimmels. Kaputte Vorhänge, Löcher in den Türen. Wackelige defekte Möbel.
