Cons:

Dat er teveel trappen waren om het hotel te bereiken was het belangrijkste. Er was een bel om hulp te vragen maar die was pas als je al veel trappen gelopen had.

Good location for short trip at a decent price.
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Six sets of steps to get to reception with luggage. No one came to help when we asked. Wasn’t impressed to then see a lot of staff inside the hotel. Can’t be great for people with mobility issues

Dezamăgitor, chiar și pentru o singură noapte.
Pros:

Foarte departe de centrul orașului, pe site scrie 15 minute cu autobuzul, dar în realitate este la 30-35 de minute.

Cons:

Nu există semnalizare pentru a intra cu bagajele prin parcarea hotelului, astfel că am urcat 2 geamantane pe 49 de trepte. Miros de mâncare pe holul hotelului.
