Pros:

Comfy bed and good location

Cons:

It was very hot and no air conditioning. I believe this is being addressed.

Pros:

Localização excelente. O facto do quarta ser num edifício com um pequeno jardim no meio com cadeiras e mesa. O quarto é bastante agradável, assim como a equipa da recepção é bastante simpática.

Cons:

Nada a destacar.

Nice hotel, excellent location. Helpful staff
Pros:

Room was very spacious and comfortable for 2 adults + 1 child.

Cons:

There was a quite bad smell in the room in our last day, coming from the pipes. It smelled like sewage.

It was VERY hot in the room (apparently the air con was out of service) and we had a scaffolding up just outside our window.

They should also get some proper pillows. They use square cushions instead.

Experience probably depends on the room you are given
Pros:

The breakfast was nice. The mattress was comfortable.

Cons:

I was given a small room in the attic, which was quite hot in late spring. There is a portable air conditioning unit in the room that I would have to somehow install. Because it was so hot I wanted to sleep with open window which meant a lot of mosquitoes from the yard. When I complained to the receptionist about it he said "that is nature". A mosquito net for. a small window costs 20 EUR...
Also the pillow seemed to be made of some rubber like material, very tall, bad for the neck.

Para uma curta estadia a sós, valeu
Pros:

O pequeno almoço era ajustado ao preço e as condições do Hotel e era mais do que suficiente.

Cons:

As paredes não sao à prova de som e tinah um vizinho que roncaava muito durante a noite e quando estivesse acordado falava ao telefone muito alto. Isso incomodou um pouco. Por outro lado, o quarto era muito pequeno apesar de não ter sido muito importante, deu para sentir algum sufoco

Pros:

Le confort, les anciennes structures de ces maisons de maître

Cons:

La porte donnant sur un escalier au fond d'un couloir au premier étage était fermé à clé !!!!ALORS QU'IL S'AGIT D'UNE SORTIE DE SECOURS.
Le lundi elle a été ouverte par les femmes de ménage. A t elle referméee après ?
Le petit déjeuner au bar de la réception pour 5€, est un peu kitch
Enfin ma chambre donnait sur la rue. Si les fenêtres étaient à double vitrage, mais pas bien insonorisées.

Pros:

La disponibilité du personnel est formidable, ainsi que leur flexibilité. Le logement est extrêmement bien situé et il y fait calme la nuit, malgré la présence de bars et de restaurants tout autour. Le déjeuner est très complet.

Cons:

La porte des toilettes/bain dans les chambre n'est qu'une porte coulissante donc pour aérer, il faut ouvrir la fenêtre de la chambre en elle-même, ce qui est un peu dommage.

Skaista viesnīca ar ideālu atrašanās vietu.
Pros:

Ideāla atrašanās vieta. Istabiņas gaumīgi iekārtotas un tīras.

Cons:

Būtu bijis jauki, ja istabiņā būtu bijušas krūzītes vai papildu glāzes.
