Hinta-laatusuhteeltaan erinomainen hotelli
Pros:

Sijainti oli meidän tarkoitukseen juuri sopiva ja tarjolla oli tilava huone 3 hengelle erittäin hyvään hintaan. Hyvät sängyt, hiljaista yöllä. Aamiaista emme syöneet emmekä käyttäneet oikein muitakaan palveluita, koska lähdimme niin aikaisin.

Cons:

Sisäänkirjautumisessa joutui jonottamaan varsin kauan vaikka paikalla ei ollut paljoa ihmisiä emmekä olleet ruuhka-aikaan.

Kesälomareissu.
Pros:

Aamiainen oli erinomainen,maistui koko porukalle. Jouduin maksamaan siitä erikseen,kun ei kuulunut huoneen hintaan.
Sijainti oli tosi hyvä.

Cons:

Eipä ollut mitään epämieluista.

Muuten ok
Pros:

Sijainti ja aamiainen ok

Cons:

Olimme varanneet perhehuoneen 2 aikuista ja 2 lasta. Huoneen lisävuoteet olivat petaamatta ja muutkin varusteet olivat vain kahdelle hengelle. Pyydettyämme saimme lisävuoteet pedatuksi ja pyyhkeet lapsille. Hammasmukit puuttuivat ja minibaarissa oli puoliksi juotu tölkki.

I couldn’t wait to leave and move to another hotel
Cons:

First of all check in time is at 4pm instead of 3pm.
There is no cattle nor coffee machine in the rooms
For a coffee you have to pay 5 euros at the bar
Sleepers, toothbrush kit, shaving kit are available at the desk and are not for free!
Quality of toilet paper is really bud!
Beds are not comfortable at all!
Really noisy because part of the hotel is under reconstruction!
The stuff is trained to make you pay for everything

Sehr gutes Stadthotel für Gäste, die Komfort schätzen aber keinen Luxus brauchen.
Pros:

Renovierte Zimmer ausreichend groß und stilvoll eingerichtet. Dusche / WC sehr gut ausgestattet, Dusche großzügig dimensioniert.
Frühstücksbuffet reichhaltig.
Lage ist ausgezeichnet. Parkplätze vor dem Haus vorhanden.

Cons:

Im Zimmer fehlt ein Kleiderschrank, Nische als Ersatz ist zu klein.
Das Zimmer (zur Straße orientiert) erhält sehr wenig Tageslicht.
Abfallbehälter werden vom Zimmerservice nicht geleert, Instantkaffee und Teebeutel werden nicht neu ersetzt.
