Cons:

The different smells at the hotel. The lobby has a particular odor to it, then you go to the elevator and another odor super strong welcomes you... its intense and you perceived the cleaning products on top of not so good smells. Overall the photos are much better than what the actual hotel looks like. IS like a haunted hotel.
There's a vending machine in the lobby that doesn't work. In my room even with the air conditioning off there was noise coming in from other air conditionings from other rooms. The sink in the bathroom clogged easily, and the shower was moldy. I would not recommend this hotel if you are traveling for leisure or work. Is not pretty to stay here.

Stay away from this place!
Pros:

The reception lady who works from 9 am till 4 pm.

Cons:

It was the worst hotel I’ve seen. Everything is dirty, broken and cheap in a room. The restrooms in airports look much cleaner and equipped than this.

Pros:

Personal hat täglich erkundigt ob man etwas braucht

Cons:

Das Zimmer (Junior Suite) hatte den Charme einer Gefängniszelle. Zwar groß aber leer, keine Dekoration, keine Nachttischlampen, grau gestrichener optisch schmutziger Fußboden, Ausblick auf eine Wand, Dusche etc alles in einem Raum, wie eine Zelle, es haben nur noch die Gitterstäbe gefehlt. Furchtbares unpraktisches Design vom Vorbesitzer von vor 15 Jahren. Steckdosen hinter dem Nachtschrank, kein Lichtschalter oder Licht am Bett, Waschbeckenabstand furchtbar,... . Das nervigste war aber das ständige Getrampel und Gepolter aus dem Penthouse über uns. Für eine gute Bewertung gäbe es 20% auf den nächsten Aufenthalt, auch andere Hotels des Besitzers aber nicht einmal für 100% will ich wieder dahin.

Pros:

good location. good communication with staff (almost all virtual). clear instructions for virtual check in. elevator worked (though very slow as its an older building).

Cons:

This is a budget room in a good location. Room was very sparse...nearly the opposite of well appointed with an odd layout. No lamp at the bedside but a mirror on the ceiling above the sink? Concrete floors. Sheets were pilled and rough. Lipstick stains on the mirror from a prior occupant. Do not recommend room 5A.

Bueno Bonito y Barato
Pros:

La habitación era inmensa, muy limpia y bien decorada. La cama muy cómoda y con todo lo necesario. Es tal cual sale en las fotos. Cama muy cómoda, habitación bien aclimatada, bien la ropa de cama así como todo lo necesario para el baño.
El personal de recepción fantástico y muy servicial. Merece la pena reservar una suite grande por la diferencia de precio.

Cons:

Nada
