I had a great stay and would happily come back again
Pros:

The location was excellent—not only was the neighborhood great, but it was also very close to public transport and the city's main landmarks.
The rooms were quite spacious, the hotel has its own charm, and the breakfast was good.

On arrival we were quite disappointed but after 4 days it really grew on us and the location is perfect
Pros:

Location is perfect bed was very comfortable and hotel was very clean

Cons:

Needs lot of updating painting new carpets.big hole in the carpet by the lift I tripped on. new bathroom suites.all this really let’s it down and just fresh painting would really help.

Összeségében pozitívan értékelném a szállashelyet, de a fent említett problémák miatt, legközelebb nem ide foglalnék.
Pros:

Minden nagyon közel volt, kedvesek voltak az ott dolgozók, mindenben segítettek

Cons:

Építkezés volt közvetlen a szálloda mellett, ami időnként hangos volt. Ár-érték arányban, túl árazottnak gondolom, a szoba tisztasága miatt (koszos fal, koszos tükör, első belépéskor hajat találtam a komódon). Illetve a reggeli egyáltalán nem volt változatos, nem volt zöldség sem.

Mooie locatie. Hotel erg gedateerd.
Pros:

De locatie van dit hotel is super. Personeel is vriendelijk, ontbijt prima geregeld. In de basis is het een prima hotel.

Cons:

De gangen ruiken al niet fris en de kamers zijn zeer gedateerd. Zeker de douches, waarbij je de douchekop niet eens kan bewegen en een minimale straal uitkomt, kan echt niet voor deze prijzen. Foto’s komen niet overeen met de werkelijkheid.

Pros:

Konumu güzeldi

Cons:

Eski bir bina ancak yeterince restorasyon yapılmamış. Bu sebeple özellikle yerlerdeki ahşaplar yürürlen çok ses yapıyor
