A fuir cet établissement absolument, pas propre, le propriétaire a annulé notre séjour nous nous sommes retrouvee dehors
Pros:

Rien

Cons:

À FUIR !!!!! un calvaire… petit déjeuner, que dis-je…. l’assiette avec deux morceaux de concombres, un morceau de fromage et des olives, servie après 10h. Sachant que nous sommes arrivé en bas pour le petit déjeuner, le restaurateur a souhaité qu’on attendent dehors dans le froid… de plus la chambre et très petite, la douche est moisi avec des odeurs d’égouts. Le chauffage marche très peu voir pas du tout, sachant qu’il m’éteigne avec le service de chambre. Nous avons donc demandé un remboursement qu’il nous a refusé. il voulait annuler la réservation sans nous rembourser, nous avons donc continué notre séjour étant à la rue…

Katastrophe
Pros:

Nur Lage ist gut

Cons:

Der Unterkunft ist nicht für Familien geeignet. Der Unterkunft hat nur 5 Zimmer , Tag ist Zimmer leer Nacht kommt Pärchen zum tollen Zeit erleben , offenes Frühstück gibt es garnicht, Personal kommt erst zwischen 11-12 Uhr wenn sie Frühstück essen wollen müssen Sie warten bekommen sie klein Teller Oliven Käse Tomate Gurken und Tee.
Hat mir garnicht gefallen der Unterkunft hat kein Reinigungskraft Personal zum saubermachen, überall Haare Boden wc etc.

ليس هوتيل ، هو باب جانبي يودي للمطعم يودي فوق ، الاستقبال هو نفسه استقبال المطعم
Pros:

اعجبني تعامل طاقم العمل اخلاقهم حلوه

Cons:

المكان لي فندق ولا هوتيل ولا شي ، هي تكون غرف فوق مطعم وفي الغالب انها الغرف تبع الموظفين بس مأجرين الغرف ، يعيبها ايضاً الازعاج لان المطعم يشغل اغاني وشيشه لين الساعه 2 الليل ، ف النوم بيكون غير مريح الا لين يقفلون المطعم والاغاني

SkyLife ma piedi per terra
Pros:

Posizione strategica molto vicino a tutte le attrazioni più importanti della città e ad uno snodo della metropolitana molto ben collegato.
Personale cordiale e sempre disponibile.

Cons:

La struttura offre una colazione sicuramente tipica ma non paragonabile agli standard di scelta e quantità europei inoltre consigliamo di rivalutare la fascia oraria in cui viene servita.
Camere fatiscenti e seppure le stanze venissero regolarmente sistemate la pulizia generale e’ sicuramente migliorabile.

一般,勉强过夜
Pros:

位置靠近市区

Cons:

我们预定的是一间3人间(因为预定时网站显示双人间已售完),但实际入住时给我们安排了一个双人间,并且服务员没有给任何解释。第二天一早我询问为何没有给我们原定的三人间,服务员刚开始声称三人间在我入住时已经满房了。然后当我问道少一张床的时候,服务员又说三人间现在也只有一张大床,没有他们图片里宣传的那张小床。虽然服务员表示了抱歉,但是双人间比三人间便宜了不少钱,最后也没有返还给我们这些差价。而且我认为如果的确是三人间没有了,应该在入住之前和我们协商是否愿意入住双人间,而不是等着顾客自己发现后才表示抱歉,并不返还退款。而且房间卫生很差,厕所有很严重的臭味。
