Cons:

le petit déjeuner est vraiment basique. le café est lyophilisé, le thé offert bas de gamme. Pas d'oeufs.
Sous mon lit il restait des objets d'un précédent occupant.

Pros:

Dobré prostředí

Cons:

Poměrně hluk zvenku, protože stará okna, celkový look nebo wibe, díky starým kobercům a zanedbání údržby o hotel - Londýnský styl oken, vybavení, starých tlustých koberců byly pokoje cítit starobou, jako úklid byl v pořádku, snažili se, ale celkový dojem kazily koberce a zanedbanost, vyměnit dlažbu, opravit stěny, vše vymalovat, zpravit tomu vizáš, tak je to super hotel

Cons:

Słabej jakości śniadania, ale patrząc na lokalizację i cenę za hotel ok… nie można wymagać luksusów. Strasznie małe pokoje. 2 osoby z walizkami nie miałby gdzie je rozłożyć.
