Pros:

Room 24 was pleasant, clean, in decent maintained condition and a modern bathroom. The laundry service same day works, happy to receive 1 kg for free and pay for the rest.staff very helpful. The rooftop Restaurant an added bonus selling alcohol. The location very convinient city center, not overtly noisy at nigth as room this room not facing the street.

Cons:

Hot water was scarce. Initially no kettle in the room, we got one but partially broken.

Prima voor 1 nacht
Pros:

De locatie is heel prettig. Vriendelijk personeel. Schoon bed

Cons:

Het bed was behoorlijk instabiel. Randen waar klamboe overheen hangt zagen erg los en scheef

Wouldn’t recommend
Pros:

Location is quite convenient as you’re walking distance to a lot of things you might want to see/do as a tourist

Cons:

The room was completely different from the pictures. It only had a small window and it was musty, it was situated on the first floor just next to reception and it was extremely noisy.
Especially at night (even late, like 1/2am) there was a lot of noise made by some of the people working there, who where talking very loudly for long periods of time and I found it very annoying and also disrespectful as they know there’s guests sleeping.
It didn’t feel very private and comfortable at all and there was also a persistent sound made by something broken with the electric panel.

Pros:

La ubicación, estás en pleno centro y la habitación tiene vista a Buda.
El desayuno está bien y el servicio de lavandería funciona de maravilla, en menos de 24 horas la tienes.

Cons:

No conseguimos que funcionara en toda la noche. Al parecer es un problema de cuando se iba a luz había que reiniciarlo todo, pero tras tres intentos lo dimos por imposible
