Pros:

Zentral gelegen, schönes Innen Design, gute Betten.

Cons:

Die Kommunikation war schwierig. Ich wollte eine Nacht länger bleiben, und musste lange auf die Antwort warten. Bei der Ankunft, ( self Check in) lag der Zimmer Schlüssel nicht bereit. Die Rezeption war kaum besetzt, es war unklar, wann jemand anwesend ist. So musste ich Reklamation immer telefonisch klären, und es konnte nicht eine Lösung vor Ort gefunden werden. Jemand kam und bot uns wegen dem Warten ein Upgrade an. Es stellte sich heraus, dass das Zimmer noch weniger dem entsprach, was wir gebucht hatten. Austattung war anders, das Fenster war noch offen, die Fensterbank war nass, Probleme mit Wasserdruck, die Toiletten Spülung und das Wasser in der Dusche funktionierten dadurch schlecht. Der Fernseher war deplaziert, konnte nicht genutzt werden eine Wand schlecht gestrichen. Auf der Homepage und im Foyer heisst es, dass Frühstück angeboten wird, dies wurde eingestellt. Für den Preis erwarte ich einen besseren Service. Ich bin sehr enttäuscht. Das ist reine Geldabzocke.

DA RIFARE: IO CI TORNEREI NUOVAMENTE
Pros:

Camera di dimensioni adeguate.
Silenziosa in termini generali (anche perchè rivolta all'interno non sulla strada) ma si sentivano rumori e voci dalle stanze vicine.
Non mi piace molto la moquette per terra, ma riconosco essere stata sempre pulita e profumata
Il bagno in generale OK!
Pulizia ottima, nulla da dire; magari ci vorrebbe più cura da parte del personale nel sistemare il letto utilizzato.
Comodo il caffè offerto in "reception" con mancia.
La posizione dell'Hotel davvero strategica, comoda e mezzi pubblici vicino anche con fermata metro diretta da aeroporto nei pressi!!
In generale comunque ci tornerei.

Cons:

Il sistema vasca/doccia davvero. per quanto stessi attento a girarmi nella parte giusta, perdeva acqua e lo scendi doccia non era sufficiente ad asciugare le perdite . Infiltrazioni dal soffitto del bagno, ma nel complesso molto pulito tutto!
Risistemazione del letto, da rivedere.

Pros:

L'hotel si trova in una ottima posizione molto vicino al centro e ad ogni attrazione turistica

Cons:

La stanza era scarsamente illuminata, così xome il bagno, rendendo difficile anche svolgere le normali attività quotidiane
Inoltre la pulizia lasciava molto a desiderare
Un altro aspetto negativo è stata la totale assenza di personale: durante tutto il soggiorno non ho mai visto nessuno dello staff,cosa che mi ha fatto sentire poco assistita e per nulla seguita.

Świetny pobyć cudowny hotel
Pros:

Hotel w samym centrum, a jest cichutko. Pokój czysty, a recepcja przekochana( wszystko wytłumaczyła), w pokoju znajdował się nawet sejf i lodówka, duża ilość ręczników, żelo-szampon do włosów oraz po dwie pary klapków. Obok sklep otwarty 24h na dobę, polecam hotel całym sercem.

Cons:
