Gute Lage, schlechtes Hotel
Pros:

Die Lage. Das Personal.

Cons:

Wo soll ich anfangen? Das Zimmer kommt mit einem Bett, deren Matratze ziemlich hart. (ähnlich einem Nagelbett) Der Fernseher besitzt exakt acht Sender, wo von zwei nicht funktionieren. Hinter dem modernen Vorhang befand sich in der Ecke Schimmel. Das Bad ist eine Konstruktion aus Toilette, Dusche und Waschbecken auf einem Quadratmeter, sodass die Toilette nach einer Dusche komplett nass ist. Zusätzlich dazu läuft das Wasser im Waschbecken schlecht ab. Die Ausstattung des Raumes ist auf das Minimalste beschränkt, so dass zwei Personen wie in einer Sardinenbüchse leben. Die Bilder entsprechen nicht der Realität. Den einen Punkt musste ich geben, da eine Null nicht möglich war. Preis-Leistung, wo?

Nie wieder in diesem Hotel
Pros:

Nur die Lage, freundlichkeit des Personals ansonsten sollte das Hotel Geundsniert werden. Eine frechheit für diesen teuren Preis was wir gezahlt haben.

Cons:

Vermodert, verschimmelt gerochen. Eckelhaft.
Durch das Duschen direkt im Bad auch komische gerüche und lauter kleine Tierchen in den Holztürrahmen.
