Nur zu empfehlen wenn man bei geschlossenen Fenster schläft
Pros:

Zimmer sauber, Betten und Kissen gut. Frühstück basic, etwas teurer für den Preis.

Cons:

Wir hatten ein Zimmer ganz oben, zur Straße, ohne Lift ist es mit Gepäck beschwerlich. Am Tag ist es ruhig, aber jede Nacht ein unglaublicher Lärm von der Straße, bis weit nach Mitternacht. Autos und Partygänger. Leider auch keine Klimaanlage, dadurch war es sehr warm bei der Hitze.

Les prestations ne sont pas au rdv pour le prix.
Pros:

Le matelas, la grande douche . Le petit déjeuner.

Cons:

Les draps tachés . L’amas de poussière derrière la télévision. L’accumulation de saleté sue les plinthes de la salle de bain.

Por el precio pagado, tiene que haber mejores opciones.
Pros:

La decoración de la habitación estaba bien, aunque es muy pequeña. El baño bonito, pero la ducha resbala muchísimo.

Cons:

El desayuno continental muy, muy justito. No disponen de tostador y hay muy pocas opciones.
Hay que subir un primer piso altito para llegar a la recepción, sin ascensor y subiendo las maletas a pulso. El Señor que atiende amable.
