Удобный, домашний отель в самом центре города.
Pros:

Очень понравился отель. Чувствовали себя, как дома. Номер был просторный, гостиная и спальня с красивым видом на город. Вкусные завтраки. Местоположение в самом центре, удобное для знакомства со столицей.

Cons:

Близость к ресторану, где играли ночные свадьбы. Шумновато.

Tolle Unterkunft
Pros:

Sehr große Räume für den angebotenen Preis.
Dusche mit warmen Wasser, alles sauber, gereinigt wird täglich, Sicherheit ist auch 24 h im Eingangsbereich anwesend, das Personal ist freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Alles wichtige zum Einkaufen in ca. 200 m Entfernung.
Essenstechnisch gibt die Umgebung einiges her.
Auch abends ist es um das Hotel herum sicher.
An und Abreise einfach

Ich kann über nichts klagen

Cons:

Die Möbel sind, wie von anderen beschrieben tatsächlich etwas älter, wenn störts? Ansonsten alles perfekt

Fairly good.
Pros:

I like the setting inside the hotel. The bed is great and the couch area.

Cons:

I found inside the room a used small portion of the tissue. It wasn't enough. Despite the huge amount you charge per night.

Also there's no Internet connection to the Television, and water heater was not working.
