Einfach nur schlecht
Pros:

Nichts!

Cons:

Sehr schlecht organisiert. Zimmer nicht so wie gebucht. Gebucht wurde ein Zimmer mit zwei Einzelbetten und Badezimmer. Das Badezimmer lag außerhalb vom Zimmer und konnte nicht separat verschlossen werden. Schwarzschimmel im Badezimmer. Total verschmutzer Heizungskörper. Wir konnten kein Fernseh schauen da es keine Batterien in der Fernbedienung gab.

Fiyat-performans 2-3 günlük konaklama için uygun
Pros:

Odamız 7. Katta olmasına rağmen 2 tane asansör genellikle boştu neredeyse hiç beklemeden geliyordu. Oda yeterli büyüklüğe sahipti. Resepsiyon tamamen dijital bir ekran üzerinden giriş sağlanıyor. Oradan mailinize gelen QR kodu okutup oda kartınızı tanımlayıp odanıza gecebiliyorsunuz. Bu sistem oldukça hızlı ve sorunsuzdu.

Cons:

Konum, merkeze 6-7 km civarında. Hemen önünde otobüs durağı var. 800 MT ilerde tramvay durağı var. 2 ulaşımı da kullanarak istediğiniz yere gidebilirsiniz. Ancak merkeze ulaşmak 20-25 dakika sürüyor. WC-banyo odanın dışında ve 1 kapı uzakta olması iyi değildi. Yeterince temizdi ve sadece bize aitti ancak dışarda kalması çocuklu aileler için sorun olabilir.

Fint sted. Rent og pænt med mulighed for selv at lave mad og vaske tøj.
Pros:

Gode senge.
Hurtig tjek in

Cons:

At man selv skulle lægge sengetøj på køjesengen, det ville være rart at det også var gjort ligesom det var på dobbeltsengen, i stedet for at betrækket blot lå der så man selv skulle gøre det. Og det var ikke en fejl fik jeg besked om i receptionen. Lidt øv at starte med inden vi kunne slappe af efter en lang køretur.

Pros:

Tisztaság, kedves személyzet, bőséges választék a reggelinél

Cons:

A 322 szobában szálltunk meg, hajnali 1-3 óra körül hangoskodtak más szomszédok amiről nem a hotel tehet, de lehetnének szigorúbb szabályok hogy mások tudjanak pihenni.
