Pros:

Une chambre avec salle de bain à petit prix

Cons:

En fait, c est un espace privé dans l hôtel. Il faut comprendre qu à l arrivée il faut appeler le propriétaire ( en anglais) . La réception de l hôtel, en principe, ne vous aide pas.

Was not up to the standard. We have stayed at the same premises many times before.
Pros:

The location

Cons:

Room was not as showed in the picture before booking. The floor was sticky. Fridge was not cold. Overall, it was not up to the hotel standard. No complimentary parking.

Overall, good.
Cons:

Floor is a bit sticky, maybe because of the mop detergent. Maybe can consider to change the detergent or at least should mop back the floor again with water after mopping with detergent

Terrible
Pros:

The location was good, only a 10 min walk from the centre.

Cons:

We unfortunately found multiple bed bugs in the room immediately upon arrival, which made us feel unsafe and forced us to leave the accommodation immediately. We reported the issue to the host and Booking.com, and while the host eventually agreed to refund the stay, the initial lack of response was stressful.

Additionally, there was confusion regarding the room key when checking out, as the reception could not accept it and the host later requested an additional fee despite us leaving it in the agreed collection point (photo evidence below).

Overall, we cannot recommend this accommodation due to the health and safety concerns and poor handling of check-in/check-out procedures.

Pros:

La ubicacion

Cons:

Estaba sucio, no había nadie para recibirte sino check in y check out por WhatsApp. La habitación está en un hotel pero es un airbnb
El agua salía marrón el primer día
Había pelos y pelusas por la habitación, sensación de no estar limpio
La tarjeta solo funcionaba en 2 ascensores y si el que no podías usar estaba en tu planta tenias que subir a la primera y llamarle para poder avisar a los otros ascensores y que bajaran.

Ok once we were finally in but were kept waiting for ages in hotel lobby before room access details.
Pros:

Room was fine once we finally found it

Cons:

No reception- it was one of these privately owned rooms that are operated within a hotel operation and the hotel staff at reception want nothing to do with you- you have to try to figure things out by communicating with your host by phone. The check in process was ridiculously difficult, clumsy and cumbersome.
