Prima
Pros:

Goede centrale ligging. Bedden zijn prima. De gedeelde badkamers waren schoon, we hoefden niet te wachten. Onder het hotel (BG) zit een leuk sfeervol jazz café. Personeel is heel vriendelijk. Het is een beetje vergane glorie, maar dat heeft ook zijn charme. Een eenvoudig ontbijt is inbegrepen, fijn!

Nous allions a un concert au stade Rogers. Rentrer tard , lever tôt. Tout c’bien dèroulè !
Pros:

Le calme de notre Chambre 219. Cotè pratique, l’hotel est en pleine ville.

Cons:

La propretèe laisse à dèsirer. La poussiéres mal faite et les dessous des lits. Pas de toillette wc dans la chambre. Les Wc sont dans le couloir et commune ainsi que la salle de douche. Pas de petit-dèjeuner avant 9h30. BIEN Trop tard 🤦‍♀️ HOTEL QUI A BESOIN DE RÈNOVATION. Climatisation ancestrale (bruyante) et tarif trop èlevèe pour la vètustèe.

comodo al centro, accettabile
Pros:

La colazione non c'era, neppure un bollitore in camera o macchinetta per il caffè. Ottima posizione , in centro.

Cons:

Tutte le camere sono microscopiche, poco pulite e dovrebbero avere il bagno.

Pros:

C'est une place très calme. Les gens sont très respectueux. Très propre et emplacement parfait!

Cons:

Il n'y avait pas de débarbouillette pour se laver. Ça me dérange si les hôtels en prête pas, mais juste le mentionner lors de la réservation. Et dans la chambre, il manque un petit frigidaire pour garder les bouteilles d'eau et les breuvages froid.

Sconsigliato se cercate un minimo di riposo
Pros:

Posizione buona

Cons:

Il motto mio e del mio fidanzato è che l’albergo serve essenzialmente per dormire, quindi non pretendiamo suite o lussi particolari. Tuttavia, se anche il sonno viene costantemente intralciato dai rumori, allora questo posto proprio non ci siamo.
Le finestre della camera sembrava non ci fossero affatto: era letteralmente come dormire in mezzo alla strada. Fino a tarda notte il suono rimbombava nella stanza, facendoci sentire ogni singola conversazione dei passanti, sirene di polizia ed autoambulanze, clacson e traffico continuo. L'esperienza peggiore era al mattino: non ci si svegliava con la sveglia, ma direttamente per il trambusto assordante che saliva dalla strada.
Abbiamo fatto presente questo grande disagio già al secondo giorno di soggiorno, chiedendo di poter cambiare camera per averne una non affacciata sulla strada principale, ma non ci è stata offerta alcuna soluzione né supporto.
Aggiungo un'ulteriore nota negativa sulla totale assenza di ascensore: abbiamo dovuto trascinare tre valigie grandi per due piani di scale completamente da soli, senza la minima offerta di aiuto da parte dello staff.
Purtroppo una struttura dove non è garantito nemmeno il riposo di base non può essere consigliata.

Carino
Pros:

Struttura centrale, autentica. Pulizia buona. Disponibilità dello staff.
Va bene per un paio di notti se non si hanno aspettative troppo alte.

Cons:

Sì poteva aprire una sola finestra ma le zanzariere andrebbero cambiare o quanto meno pulite.
Arredamento vecchio stile, anche se in linea con l’idea della strutta.
