Car Parking Nightmare
Pros:

Central location

Cons:

Car parking desaster! Before arrival I contacted the hotel and asked about car parking advise. On the German hotel website there was clearly written „free outside parking“ - and that was why I booked that hotel. In response I was told that I have to park at a recommended nearby public 24/7 parking garage and I have to pay for it! What a surprise …
When I arrived shortly after midnight and drove to the parking garage nearby, it was totally closed - all shutters were down and I couldn’t park my car. Back to the hotel - it was meanwhile 01:00 - the receptionist tried to help but it took many phone calls and another long hour (after an already long flight) that I could go back to the parking garage an park my car. At then end it was 02:30 when I could go to bed …
When I wanted the get back my car for the garage, there was a hand written sign „no credit card, cash only“ - but I didn’t have cash with me, trusting it would work as promoted …

Long story short, it was a really bad experience!

Saimme saman vaikutelman, kun viime kesänä Silja Linella. Varmaan hieno 1990 luvulla.
Pros:

Sijainti loistava ja aamupala hyvä

Cons:

Huone oli ahdas ja epäkäytännöllinen. Lattia kupruili useammasta kohtaa. Vessan pönttö vuosi. Yöllä, kun oli hiljaista, vessan tiputtelu häiritsi. Vessan säiliön täyttyminen oli erittäin äänekäs. Vessan ovi oli kokenut kovia kosteusvaurioita.

Nice hotel in good location.
Pros:

Great location with loads of shops and restaurants close by.

Cons:

Another guest playing very loud music either next door or room above until 0200. Not the hotels fault. Just the type of guest/

Service à la clientèle souriant, à l'écoute, patient et proactif. Localisation parfaite.
Pros:

En général, l'hébergement fut très agréable, l'emplacement est définitivement le point majeur et l'écoute puis l'attention du personnel de l'établissement. Lisa a été particulièrement aidante, souriante et gentille.

Cons:

Toilette n'a pas de ventilateur extracteur d'air humide et d'odeur. Lorsqu'on va aux toilettes on entend tout, on sent tout et la chaleur et le taux d'humidité augmente très rapidement dans la petite toilette lorsque qu'on prend une douche. Il y a un espace de 50mm (2po) sous la porte qui est sensé aidé mais qui nuit plus qu'autrement. L'interrupteur extérieur de la toilette fait en sorte qu'on réveille les autres dans la chambre lorsqu'on va aux toilettes la nuit. Il manque aussi d'espace au sec (un tablette où l'eau du robinet n'éclaboussera pas sur la surface) pour y déposer des vêtements sec et propre pour se changer. Manque de crochets dans la toilette et la chambre pour y suspendre des trucs (petit sac, chapeau/casquette, gilet, etc.) et/ou d'autres types de vêtements.
