Great stay and helpful. The only downside is the hassle of getting the deposit back
Pros:

John was very helpful and the location is great. We had a great view from our room of the empire

Cons:

I don’t like that a deposit had to be paid and 2 weeks after leaving the hotel my money has still not been returned

Posizione e .ulizia top, comodità flop
Pros:

Posizione, pulizia, personale. Cambio totale quotidiano delle lenzuola e salviette. Ottimo per quanto elencato sopra.

Cons:

Mancanza totale di un armadio, di una cassettiera per riporre i vestiti. Occorre utilizzare sempre e solo la valigia, che diventa un mucchio di vestiti puliti vestiti sporchi, vestiti puliti però mal ripiegati. Stanza piccola, con l'ingombro delle valigie sempre a portata di mano, a malapena si gira intorno al letto.

Μια υπέροχη εβδομάδα στην πόλη που δεν κοιμάται ποτέ
Pros:

Στο κατάλυμα αρχικά μας άρεσε πάρα πολύ η τοποθεσία του που ήταν στην καρδια όλων των αξιοθέατων και σε στάση του μετρό επίσης πολύ κοντά. Κάθε μέρα μας άλλαζαν πετσέτες και γενικά καθάριζαν το δωμάτιο χωρίς να το ζητήσουμε,είναι στην πολιτική τους. Το δωμάτιο ήταν πάρα πολύ καθαρό και πάρα πολύ ζεστό κ το λέμε εγγυημένα αυτό γιατί εμείς πετύχαμε ψύχος στη Νέα Υόρκη. Επίσης μας άφηναν κάθε μέρα νεράκι αλλά έχει κ στη ρεσεψιόν για όλους τους ενοίκους και καραμελιτσες. Μακάρι όλα τα ξενοδοχεία να είχαν υπαλλήλους σαν τον John ο οποίος πάντα με χαμόγελο απαντούσε σε κάθε μας απορία.
John σε περιμένουμε Ελλάδα.
Είμαι το κορίτσι με τα ωραία earmuffs

Cons:

Το μόνο που δε μας άρεσε βασικά που μας δυσκόλεψε είναι ότι στο ντουζ δεν είχε τηλέφωνο παρά μόνο ένα σταθερό που εμένα προσωπικά με δυσκολεύει αυτός ο τρόπος να κάνω ντουζ κ ότι ίσως είναι λίγο μικρό το δωμάτιο σα χώρος.

Felices de habernos alojado aquí
Pros:

Muy bien ubicado. Muy limpio (aspiran la moqueta de la habitación a diario, cambian todas las toallas a diario). Te dan 2 aguas a diario también. Cama y 2 almohadas por persona muy cómodas. Todo el personal muy amable y atento, dispuestos a ayudarte en todo (la mayoría habla español). Solo hay un ascensor pero al ser tan solo 9 plantas es rápido y no hay que esperar muchos minutos como en otros hoteles que son rascacielos.

Cons:

La única pega que le pondría aunque ya lo sabía por otras reseñas, se oyen todas las sirenas y bocinas que provienen de la calle, el ruido de la máquina de la calefacción y el ruido de las cisternas. Lo mejor es llevarse tapones para no oír tanto ruido, aunque con el agotamiento de todo el día, caes rendido.
