Pros:

Hotelli oli vanha perustasoa oleva hotelli, mutta siisti. Aamiainen oli riittävän monipuolinen.

Cons:

Huone neljännessä kerroksessa ilman hissiä, mikä oli toki tiedossa.
Sänkyä en voi kehua.

Zawsze mogło być gorzej - nie mogę polecić tego hotelu
Pros:

Stosunek ceny do jakości. Wspaniała lokalizacja. Tani parking. Potężna klimatyzacja.

Cons:

Hotel ma już swoje lata. Najgorsze co mnie spotkało - zamek do pokoju. Minął jeden dzień zanim ogarnąłem z jaką prędkością wkładać kartę żeby drzwi zostały otwarte i z jaką siłą zatrzaskiwać drzwi żeby zostały zamknięte. Odpowiedź personelu - wszystko jest stare nic nie poradzimy. Można by było popracować nad śniadaniem.

For the price in the summer it was good.
Pros:

I liked the Italian restaurant next door.

Cons:

The breakfast staff could have been friendlier. They were annoyed that I asked for more milk. There was no complimentary tea or instant coffee in the room. A tea bag cost 2 euros. I have never seen that before.
