In Ordnung
Pros:

Gemütliches Zimmer mit allem was man benötigt (Wasserkocher, Mikrowelle, Besteck und Geschirr, Föhn sowie Yogamatte). Zimmer war sehr sauber und ansprechend eingerichtet.

Cons:

Schmudeliger Eindruck im Treppenhaus. Sehr penetrantes kontaktieren per Whatsapp zur Bewerbung irgendwelcher "Specials" bereits ab Buchung und währendessen.
Früstück kann man sich sparen, da man eh in umliegende Cafes (ich hatte eines zur Auswahl, das erst ab 9pm offen hatte) geht. Hätte ich das gewusst, hätte ich verzichtet und Flexibilität genutzt. Essen war jedoch fein.

Udany.
Pros:

Dodatkowe udogodnienia. Parasol, siatka na zakupu, kawa i herbata

Cons:

Na start jeden zestaw zamiast 2 ręczników. Pewnie ludzki błąd. Ślady pleśni na ścianie w pobliżu okna

Book Tour Blues
Pros:

What I liked was that it was extremely close to my event. I also liked that the staff stayed in contact when I was delayed and made sure I could get inside.

Cons:

What I didn't like is that you weren't clear about how small the room was. I had an extremely difficult time getting in and out of the shower due to the small gap between the wall and the sink. Also the shower was really too small for me. Also, I thought I had ask for extra pillows (plural,)however, there were only two pillows total. Should have been at least three. The door to the garden was locked and couldn't access it. Why put a door there if you can't use it. There were no hand rails going down the stairs and the lift in the lobby didn't work for the entirety of my stay. Hauling suitcases up and down those stairs are a recipe for disaster. There were ants in the room. 2 or 3 a day, not a big deal, but shouldn't be there. And lastly, the cleaning staff had left a Q-tip behind the door when they were preparing my room. Didn't im0act my stay, but they weren't thorough in cleaning.

The place was small but very nice, clean and a good location.
Cons:

There was a problem with the late information. I tried to check in early but it was denied and then I was on a 9 hour flight with no info…and then could not get my e mails.

Another good stay at Bob! I like that place.
Pros:

Overall, Bob is always OK. It’s not the best, but by far not the worst either, and definitely not bad. You won’t find luxury there, not even close. But to be honest, it gives you everything you need to have a nice stay. This was my second time there, and once again it was a good stay. It even had solutions to charge my phone since I didn’t have a UK socket, and it even provided ear tips. I was very happy with my stay there. I can’t complain.

Cons:

No problems. It all worked well and i left happy and satisfied to be honest. My second time in BOB and again i was satisfied.

Espacios reducidos.
Pros:

La ubicación del hotel

Cons:

Ducha pequeña. Un poco estrecha la habitación. Me golpee muy fuerte en la repisa de la TV por el poco espacio para pasar a la ventana. No hay nadie a quien solicitar ayuda en forma presencial. El ascensor estuvo siempre sin funcionar.
