Nie mehr wieder - Motto „Stay with Friends“ deutlich verfehlt
Pros:

Höchstens die zentrale Lage

Cons:

Zimmer extrem klein - ebenso das „Bad“
Das Preis-Leistung-Verhältnis ist ein Witz. CHF 280 pro Nacht für unter 10m2 und ein Einzelbett - kein Personal, Zimmer wird nicht gemacht!

Pros:

Şehir merkezinde olması
Ve
odada kahve seçeneğinin olması güzeldi

Cons:

Oda havasızdı
Oda penceresi ara boşluğa açıldığı için aşırı derecede yemek kokusu insan sesi havalandırma sesi ve sigara kokusu rahatsız ediciydi.
Işık yetersizdi. Yatak başucu ışığının biri yanmıyordu.
Yatakta birden fazla saç ve kıl vardı.
Otelin tüm giriş çıkış kapıları ve işlemler uygulama üzerinden yapılıyor. Telefonun şarjı biterse büyük sıkıntı yaşayabilirsiniz.

Hotel bien ubicado y de diseño.
Pros:

Que estaba muy bien ubicado y tenía lavandería.

Cons:

Que el espacio entre la cama y la pared hacía difícil el acceso. El olor que salía de las tuberías del baño.

Cons:

Our stay started with an unnecessarily stressful check-in experience due to the hotel’s over-reliance on automation and lack of basic guest communication.
There is no reception counter nor receptionist. To enter both the front door and our room, we were required to register on a specific mobile app. At no point before arrival did the hotel inform us by email (or any other channel) that this step was mandatory. As a result, we arrived tired from our 10 hour travel only to find ourselves locked outside, facing a keypad with no instructions and no way to get in.
It was only thanks to another guest who had already gone through the process that we eventually managed to get access. Having to depend on a stranger to solve what should have been a straightforward check-in is unacceptable for a paid hotel stay.
Hotels are supposed to be places where you pay to be served, not to have the burden of access and security shifted onto exhausted guests via apps and keypads. While technology can be useful, it should never replace clear communication and basic hospitality. Until the hotel improves its pre-arrival instructions and provides a proper staffed or clearly documented alternative for entry, I cannot recommend this property.

Pros:

Nært alt. Ok rom og booking var enkelt. Bra med gave på rommet og kaffe/ te tilgjengelig. Kommer gjerne tilbake

Cons:

Toalettet på rommet gikk tett under oppholdet, vi måtte finne annen løsning. Det kunne vært et toalett tilgjengelig utenom på selve rommet.

Creepy but valuable introduction to dystopian AI controlled holiday services
Pros:

I chose the breakfast destination from the list of those taking the tokens.

Good location

This was a very valuable experience - it told me I loath AI administered services, will never stay in such a creepy place again, enabled me to,see for the poverty of our future lives in a world controlled by AI.

Cons:

Completely impersonal. Even the WhatsApp chat was done by AI. A human claimed to respond but didn’t sign any name!! No staff evident, no reception staff to greet you. Only evidence of humans working there were piles of dirty linen in the corridor after the room service staff had cleaned, although I never saw a person.

The complete confusion between bot and person was crowned by the WhatsApp strap line ‘arrive as a guest, leave as a friend’!! There were no humans to interact with or, in Bob W parlance, ‘experience friction! The place was dystopian but worth one visit to experience the full horror.

The entry door keypad was hard to use as it was too low down, and had a hard to remember 6 digits. I had to look them up each time I arrived.
