Categories

Cleanliness
5.9
Multiple reviews report poor cleanliness: dusty/dirty towels, unclean apartments, moisture-damaged walls and warped floors; several guests described the accommodation as "disgusting" or in a lamentable state.
Service
10
Service is repeatedly described as friendly and accommodating (good reception, helpful staff). A few operational issues (parking charged, room allocation) were mentioned but overall staff responsiveness was positive.
Location
10
Consistently praised: immediate proximity to metro/train station is a clear strong point across many reviews ('very close to metro/rail').
Room Quality
6.1
Room/apartment quality received frequent criticism: outdated furnishings, very old installations, noisy neighbours, small beds, damp or poorly maintained bathrooms, and some guests were placed in substandard adjacent apartments rather than the hotel.
Amenities
6.3
Amenities are inconsistent: positive notes on basic comforts (AC when present) but multiple problems noted — broken or missing shower, AC controls problematic, no kettle in apartments, small elevator, and paid parking.
Value for Money
6
Several guests felt the price was too high for the quality provided; comments explicitly state the stay did not represent good value and some said it "doesn't deserve the price."
Food and Beverage
10
Breakfast is one of the more positively mentioned aspects: described as varied and the main positive point by several guests despite repetition.
Overall Experience
8.9
Mixed overall: many guests appreciated the location, friendly staff and breakfast, while others experienced serious cleanliness and room-quality problems (some even left without staying). The net impression varies by room allocation, but positives on service and location strongly influence the overall score.

O idee foarte proasta
Pros:

Nimic

Cons:

Usa de la balcon nu se inchide! Miros de micegai. Mizerie. Totul vechi si semifunctional. Pahare murdare. Am primit jumatati de sticla de sampon. Aer conditionat vechi fara telecomanda! Nu e nimic lux in camera lux. E un hotel unde se face sex cu ora (am vazut de pe geam clientela) in balcon nu se poate sta cu aerul conditionat potnit pt ca te coace.

Kwaterują gości w innym miejscu niż Hotel
Pros:

Pyszne śniadania, miły personel.

Cons:

Zakwaterowano nas w zupełnie innym budynku niż ten za który zapłaciliśmy -ok 100 metrów od Hotelu. Z opinii innych na Booking wynika, że to częsta pratyka hotelu Ariston. Standard "nowego" miejsca był bardzo niski (zdjęcia) , nic nie zgadzało się z tym co było na zdjęciach z rezerwacji. Drugiej nocy pod prysznicem (zdjęcia) pojawił się KARALUCH. Po zgłoszeniu w hotelu całej sytuacji na ostatnią noc (!) zakwaterowano nas w hotelu właściwym gdzie standard był o wiele wyższy. Pani z recepcji bardzo miła ale winnych brak. Menadżer Hotelu nie panuje nad tym co się tam dzieje. Za powyższe praktyki - nie polecam.

Pros:

Codzienne sprzątanie i nowe ręczniki. Śniadania z pięknym widokiem.

Cons:

Nie uprzedzono mnie w ofercie o tym że mój apartament nie znajduje się w budynku hotelu, a w bloku obok. I był wykończony w mocno budżetowym standardzie.

Pros:

Wir haben uns in der Wohnung von Anfang an extrem wohlgefühlt. Sie bietet alles, was man für einen entspannten Aufenthalt braucht, ist geschmackvoll eingerichtet und angenehm ruhig. Besonders hervorheben möchten wir die herzliche Gastgeberin: Sie war jederzeit freundlich, hilfsbereit und sehr zuvorkommend. Als schöne Überraschung erwartete uns sogar ein Willkommensgeschenk, und wir durften den Parkplatz bereits vor dem offiziellen Check-in nutzen. Vielen Dank für die tolle Gastfreundschaft – wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen!
