Lekker bed in een schone kamer op een strategische locatie in het centrum, maar verwacht niet meer.
Pros:

Wifi was snel en bed lag goed

Cons:

Luchtverfrisser op de kamer gaf een erg penetrante lucht; ontbijt was erg basic

Zweckmäßig für eine Übernachtung
Pros:

Freundlicher Empfang beim checkin, geräumiges Zimmer, modernes Bad. Nur 5 Minuten Fußweg zum Hauptbahnhof. Flasche Mineralwasser als Geschenk. Preis-Leistung sehr gut.

Cons:

Zimmer und Bad am frühen Morgen kühl, da Heizung zentral ausgeschaltet. Rasur mit kaltem Wasser, erst nach 10 Minuten war es warm zum Duschen (Wasserverschwendung). Der Kühlschrank hat nicht gekühlt.

1-2 Gün İçin Fiyat Performans Oteli
Pros:

Konumu harika, 13 yaşında ikiz çocuklarımla konakladım, 1-2 gün için fiyat performans oteli diyebilirim. Özellikle Celil Bey’e teşekkürler. Isınması yetersizdi.

Cons:

Kaldığımız oda teras katında aile odasıydı ve soğuktu. İlk gece bir kalorifer peteği çalışmıyordu, mobil ısıtıcı fan verdiler ancak yeterli olmadı. Sonraki gün arıza giderildi ancak yine de odanın ısınması hiç yeterli değildi. Belki teras katı olması, belki oda içinde çatıya bağlanan şömine olması veya camları sebebiyle de olabilir.

Pros:

Zimmer war sauber und praktisch eingerichtet.
Hatte alles was benötigt wird.
Lage ist auch gut. Nahe Bahnhof. Alles zu Fuss erreichbar.

Cons:

Ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen und deshalb auch ein bisschen ringhörig.
Grundsätzlich war es aber ruhig.
