Vollkommen in Ordnung für 1-2 Tage
Pros:

Zimmer bieten viel Platz und das Bett ist gemütlich. Alles andere mehr funktionsfähig, aber brauchbar. Die Lage war mit Grab immer in Reichweite.

Cons:

Personal beim Einchecken war nicht freundlich. Am nächsten Morgen und beim Check-Out war aber alles in Ordnung (weil anderes Personal). Frühstück ist nicht gerade gut, aber für den Preis erwarte ich keine Wunder.

Pros:

Lokalita a čistota bola vynikajúca. Taktiež dotupnosť od KL sentral je dobrá. Veľa reštaurácii v okolí. Taktiež sa mi páčila možnosť napustiť si filtrovanú vodu na chodbe. Personál bol ochotný a milý. Fitko moderné ale menšie ale na jeden workout za pobyt postačujúce.

Cons:

Steny sú trochu tenšie takže je počuť čo sa deje v okolitých izbách a na chodbe. Toto bol poblém asi iba mojej izby ale môj odtok v kúpeľni bol asi spojený s odtkom z umývadla na chodbe takže ak si tam niekto niečo umýval tak to bolo počuť v mojej kúpelni.

If you can sleep hearing all the cars, traffic and your neighbours - that's fine for 1-2 nights
Pros:

Cons:

Very noisy, from outside and inside as weel.
Breakfast - a joke

Pros:

We're very happy we stayed several days at the Lif Chinatown Hotel. We extend our compliments to Hana and all the reception staff, who are all very knowledgeable and attentive to hotel guests, and always ready to resolve any situation. Thanks also to the makeup staff, who always kept the rooms clean and tidy. Overall, a pleasant and positive experience. Thank you for everything. Roberto and Martha.
