Cleanliness
7
Multiple mentions of cleanliness issues: pool not clean, wet/soiled carpet on balconies, some rooms smelled and a report of an unclean bed; overall cleanliness is below top-tier expectations but not uniformly terrible.
Service
9.4
Staff frequently described as very helpful and friendly at every level; a few isolated reports of unfriendly or poor customer service, but overall service is a strong positive in the reviews.
Location
10
Consistently praised as an excellent, central location close to main sights and metro; this is the standout strength across many reviews.
Room Quality
7.5
Numerous comments about dated rooms, visible wear and tear, noisy walls, balcony privacy issues and some damage/poor maintenance; rooms are comfortable but show ageing.
Amenities
8.6
Rooftop bar/pool and views are highlighted as great assets, but guests noted the pool water was cold, spa/pool hours limited and some cleanliness/maintenance issues with facilities.
Value for Money
6.6
Multiple guests explicitly stated the hotel is not worth the price or not a true 5-star; perceived value is one of the weaker aspects.
Food and Beverage
7.5
Mixed feedback: several guests praised very good breakfasts, while many others found breakfast selection poor or only adequate for a 5* hotel.
Overall Experience
9
Overall impressions are positive primarily due to location and helpful staff, though several guests found the 5-star claim overstated because of room condition, noise and breakfast shortcomings.

Pros:

Месторасположение, завтраки.

Cons:

Ужасный запах в номере. Духота во всем здании и в номере. Такое впечатление, что вентиляция и кондиционирование на работают.
Сначала заселили в маленький номер на 2 этаже. Дышать в номере было нечем. Окна на крышу во внутренний двор из которого трубы вентиляции направлены прямо в окно номера. По запросу номер поменяли на 9 этаж. Однако там тоже духота и отвратительный запах. С заказом такси в аэропорт- возникли сложности. Сначала сказали, что стоянка такси за углом, идите мол сами с чемоданами туда - ресепшен не вызывает. После объяснения, что мы с ребенком и у нас вылет рано утром, нужно гарантированное такси в 6:45 сказали что передадут ночной смене. Такси в итоге вызвали. Абсолютное несоответствие цена/качество. Не рекомендую.

Check in was seamless and Samira was very welcoming and helpful.
Pros:

The location was top notch being right in the center of the shopping area and so close to public transportation. The aerobus from the airport was less than 5 minutes away by foot. Getting around was so easy with food choices being a stone’s throw away. Property itself was so clean and the rooms were very comfortable to be in.

Lokalita skvela, jidlo vynikajici, vybaveni pokoje starsi a hluk z okolnich pokoju i z venku byl pro klidny pobyt znepri
Pros:

skvela lokalita, vynikajici snidane

Cons:

Hotel je patrne starsi a jde to znat. Steny jsou tak slabe, ze slysite pomalu doslova sousedy. Pres okna je slyset z venku veliky hluk. Skviry ve vstupnich dverich znamenaji, ze pokud jde nekdo po chodbe, tak je to slyset jakoby byl u vas v pokoji. Ve sprse tekla baterie. Na kreslo jste se bal sednout, jak je houpalo. Za me tento hotel urcite nedosahuje uroven 5*.

Prime location in the centre of everything.
Pros:

Fantastic location, close to all the main sights with everywhere else having easy access via the metro. Comfortable room & bed with good facilities. Very good breakfast. Very helpful and friendly staff at every level.

Cons:

The rooftop pool area is fantastic with superb cocktails served, the water was just far too cold to spend more than 5 minutes in even on a warm sunny day. I would imagine it would be fantastic on a very hot summers day.

Bon pour l’emplacement mais n’en vaut pas le prix
Pros:

L’emplacement est bon. Le personnel est gentil, le rooftop offre une très belle vue.

Cons:

L’hôtel n’est pas un véritable 5 étoiles. Les chambres sont vétustes, les murs sales. L’accès aux toilettes de la réception n’est pas digne d’un 5 étoiles (aucune séparation entre les hommes et les femmes). Le petit déjeuner est juste correct.
