Nachtmerrie
Pros:

Locatie

Cons:

Ons verblijf in dit hotel was een complete nachtmerrie. In twintig jaar reizen heb ik nog nooit zo'n slechte ervaring gehad. Voor bijna €200 per nacht verwacht je op zijn minst een schoon hotel en respectvolle service. Helaas kregen wij precies het tegenovergestelde.

De service was verschrikkelijk. Het personeel was onvriendelijk, onprofessioneel en totaal niet behulpzaam. Bij het boeken hadden we jammer genoeg niet gezien dat het hotel geen airconditioning heeft. Ons eigen fout. Tijdens ons verblijf was het bijna 40 graden. De kamer was ondraaglijk heet en slapen was vrijwel onmogelijk.

Er stond zelfs geen fles water op de kamer. We moesten 's nachts de ramen openzetten om wat frisse lucht binnen te krijgen, maar daardoor werden we tot ongeveer vijf uur 's ochtends wakker gehouden door voortdurend geschreeuw en lawaai buiten. In plaats van een ontspannen weekend kregen we een compleet verpeste vakantie.

De kamers zijn oud en vuil. Tot onze schrik ontdekten we laat op de avond een bloedvlek op het beddengoed. Er was niemand van het personeel aanwezig om dit op te lossen of het beddengoed te vervangen.

De volgende ochtend werden we gedwongen opnieuw toeristenbelasting te betalen, terwijl wij deze al via Booking.com hadden betaald. Het enige antwoord dat we kregen was: "Los het maar op met Booking." Er werd totaal niet meegedacht of geholpen.

We hebben nooit een bewijs van betaling van de toeristenbelasting ontvangen. Ze negeerden ons tijdens het ontbijt, terwijl ze andere gasten bedienden, in plaats van te voldoen aan ons wettelijke verzoek om een ​​betalingsbewijs. Toen wij onze klachten uitten, werden we op een bijzonder onbeleefde en rassistische manier behandeld. De houding van de medewerkster bij de receptie op de ochtend van 28 juni gaf ons sterk het gevoel dat wij als buitenlandse gasten niet welkom waren. Wij ervoeren haar gedrag als discriminerend en diep respectloos. Ik ben hier, twee weken later, nog steeds van geschrokken.

Bastante regular
Pros:

Ubicación perfecta en pleno centro

Cons:

Habitación pequeña
No tiene almohadas, son cojines
Cama muy blanda
La habitación carece de ventilación, la única ventilación es una ventana pequeña en el baño que da a un patio trasero y carece de espacio para moverse dentro de la habitación
Se escucha todo lo que sucede en el pasillo y en resto de habitaciones
Y a mayores, alguien entró a nuestra habitación a las 7am, de miedo

Great location with some caveats
Pros:

Fantastic location. Must walk through the cafe since the hotel is directly above it. Beware of stairs and lack of air conditioning.

Highly recommended
Pros:

It was a very nice stay, I really appreciated the kindness of one of the staff members who allowed me to check in one hour early.
Unfortunately, I don’t know his name, but I think he was the manager or the owner.
At first, another older staff member told me I couldn’t check in early. However, when this gentleman saw that I was a woman traveling alone with two large suitcases, he kindly asked the other staff member to let me check in.
His thoughtfulness and kindness made a great first impression and were truly appreciated.

Cons:

room number 1 was very clean and comfortable. The view was from the back of the building, so it wasn’t anything special, but that was actually a plus for me because it was much quieter than the rooms facing the square. I had a peaceful stay and slept well without any noise.

Great location
Pros:

The location can’t be beat! It was nice and modern. No ac but it was cool enough at night and they did provide a fan

Cons:

In room 10 there is a horrendous smell in the bathroom. It was really bothersome but we dealt with it because we weren’t in the room a lot just to sleep. But it was rancid could have been because it’s an old building or something died in the pipes either way it was foul.

Pros:

Ubicación
Baño amplio, cómodo, nuevo.

Cons:

No fueron claros en el check in sobre las condiciones de mi reserva. En mi caso ya tenia pagado el desayuno, recién cuando me retiré me lo dijeron (la verdad que yo no revisé mi reserva para reclamar de ante mano, pero la cuestión es que no lo pude aprovechar). Tampoco fueron claros sobre horarios de limpieza de la hibitación, y no tenia suficiente jabón de mano en el baño, lo incorporaron al segundo día recién.
