Pros:

There was nothing to like.

Cons:

This is one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed in. I am not 100% sure, but it seems like the staff take photos of guests' ID documents on their personal phones during check-in, which is strictly prohibited by law.

The room itself greeted us with a "pleasant surprise" in the form of incompletely flushed feces floating in the toilet. The bathroom is in a terrible, decayed state, with mold everywhere—on the tiles and on the shower cabin elements. The bathroom sink is assembled from whatever spare parts they had lying around; when you turn on the tap, the stream of water is so close to the edge of the sink that it is practically impossible to wash your hands. The shower cabin is completely covered in mold, the doors leave large gaps when closed so water constantly leaks out, and the entrance is extremely narrow, making it a struggle just to get inside.

There is an awful stench in the room. If you open the window, you immediately hear everything happening on the ground floor near the entrance. However, pulling back the heavy, air-blocking curtains isn't an option either because a streetlight shines directly into the window. The beds are old and creaky. Another huge surprise was the presence of bedbugs, which bit my legs all over during the night.

Soundproofing throughout the hotel is practically non-existent—you will hear people snoring, using the toilet, or simply talking loudly. The front door lacks an internal lock, which is a basic security standard.

Breakfast is a complete joke: boiled sausages of questionable quality, green tomatoes, stale bread, boiled eggs, and bacon. The coffee is just cheap instant powder.

Pros:

Hotel je v dostupnej vzdialenosti mestskej dopravy, zastávka električky aj autobusu do 10 minút od hotela. Pred hotelom dostatok parkovacích miest (víkend sa neplatí). Slušné a čisté ubytovanie, ale vidieť,že hotel je už starší. Na izbe sme mali pripravenú detskú postieľku. Personál priateľský.

Cons:

Raňajky bol slabší výber, každý deň rovnaký. Izba bola čistá, ale bolo vidieť,že niektoré veci si už vyžadujú rekonštrukciu.

Cons:

Séjour cauchemardesque du 20 au 22 août dans cet hôtel. Je ne comprends absolument pas les avis positifs concernant cet établissement : la réalité est tout autre, il n'est en aucun cas propre et ne correspond en rien aux photos publiées !
​Les prestations sont inacceptables pour un 3 étoiles :
​Chaleur et absence de clim : Annoncé avec climatisation, on nous prévient au dernier moment qu'il n'y en a pas. Résultat : une chaleur étouffante et un simple ventilateur de salon fourni, inadmissible en plein été.
​Propreté et ménage inexistant : Chambre déclarée "prête" dès 11h mais sol sale. Nos serviettes laissées en désordre pour tester le service n'ont même pas été touchées du séjour.
​Insécurité : Impossible de verrouiller la porte de la chambre de l'intérieur (elle se contente de claquer), très anxiogène. De plus, l'hôtel est situé dans un quartier totalement isolé et peu rassurant.
​Vétusté et danger : Prise électrique qui se détache avec fils apparents, porte de douche cassée, et présence d'insectes/punaises.
​Petit-déjeuner : Extrêmement sommaire et de très mauvaise qualité.
​Très, très, très déçue par cet établissement. Heureusement que nous avons eu gain de cause avec Booking et obtenu un dédommagement partiel (même si ce n'est pas énorme, c'est déjà ça), mais évitez cet endroit à tout prix !
