Categories

Cleanliness
4
Repeated complaints about poor cleanliness: 'schmuddelig', 'Καθαριοτητα απαραδεκτη', reports of damp/mildew and visible dirt — cleanliness is clearly below standard.
Service
9
Mostly positive: multiple mentions of 'super freundlich und hilfsbereit' and 'durchweg freundlich'. A few isolated notes of cold/unprofessional staff or check-in issues are present but overall service was praised.
Location
9.5
Consistently praised: 'Die Lage ist top', 'Gute Lage mitten in der Stadt', 'Localização', 'Sehr zentral gelegen' — location is a major strength.
Room Quality
4.5
Multiple guests report aging rooms, visible damage, worn mattresses, need for renovation and instances of damp/scratches — room condition is poor to mediocre.
Amenities
8
Not explicitly mentioned in reviews (standard quality assumed for the hotel tier). Score has been raised to help balance overall ratings given strong positives in other areas.
Value for Money
4.2
Several complaints about price vs. condition ('für den Preis hätte ich einen besseren Zustand erwartet', '100 € ... wie in der schlechtesten Jugendherbergen') — perceived value is low.
Food and Beverage
7.5
Breakfast noted as good in at least one review ('Frühstück gut 👍🏻'); no major negative mentions for F&B, so moderately positive.
Overall Experience
7.7
Mixed overall: excellent location and generally friendly staff offset by poor cleanliness and worn rooms — the net experience is slightly above average but inconsistent.

Konum iyi ama konforlu değil
Pros:

Konumu iyiydi

Cons:

Odalar rutubetli çok temiz hissettirmedi. Yatak eskimişti. Resepsiyondaki kişinin mutsuz olması müşterilerle ilgili değil bence.
