op een aantal onderdelen teleurstellend
Pros:

De locatie was prima; het ontbijt was goed

Cons:

- kleine kamer; de topmatras schoof weg van het bed.
- bereikbaarheid; de straat was opgebroken en dat werd pas enkele dagen voor aankomst vermeld.
- de receptionist was niet empatisch; hij vond de situatie vervelend voor het hotel, maar ik vond het vervelend voor de gasten; er was geen hulp mogelijk om de bagage van een verder gelegen parkeergarage naar het hotel te krijgen, terwijl ik zei dat ik slecht ter been ben.
- de werkzaamheden in de straat begonnen "ochtends voor 7 uur met heel veel lawaai. korte nachtrust
- De tweede dag weer een gesprek met een andere receptionist geprobeerd; geen empathie, geen service, geen excuus.

Pros:

La possibilita' di fare colazione con brioche e caffe' a 4.5 €, senza farci spennare con una colazione da 22€ , tra l'altro con la misera offerta di cibo caratteristica di Ibis

Cons:

La via dell'hotel e del garage e' chiusa per grandi lavori, questo puo' succedere. Nell'intero quartiere non si poteva parcheggiare se non con il vincolo di spostare l'auto entro le 6 del mattino, causa lavori, oltre che quasi tutti gli spazi sono giustamente per i residenti. L'hotel non ha fatto nessun avviso, abbiamo girato come scemi per un'ora alla ricerca di un parcheggio, alla fine siamo andati in un altro quartiere e chiamato un taxi per l'andata e per il ritorno

Pros:

Centralt beliggende.

Cons:

Besværlige p-forhold, og hotellet bar tydeligt præg af at være godt slidt.
Personalet var venlige og hjælpsomme når du spurgte om noget, men var slet ikke opsøgende på nogen måde.
De ville hellere sidde og glo i en telefon end checke om du manglede noget.
Der var ekstremt meget ballade omkring hotellet om natten, da det virkede som en bar-gade.
Der var højlydt af unge mennesker, der tydeligt havde en sjov aften meget sent på hotelgangene uden personalet greb ind
Kan sagtens forstå man gerne vil have det sjovt, dog er der også noget ansvar om at flertallet på værelserne burde kunne få en rolig nat.

UItstekend voor enkele dagen, en vooral uitstekend als je alleen reist.
Pros:

Het ontbijt was van een uitstekende kwaliteit met een ruime keuze. Het personeel was vriendelijk en behulpzaam.

Cons:

De kamers, en vooral de badkamers, zijn aan de kleine kant.
