Pros:

Gut erreichbar, grosses Zimmer.
Gut gelüftet, geöffnete Fenster und geschlossene Vorhänge. Vorausschauend gehandelt.

Cons:

Kein Personal vor Ort. Kaputte Kaffeemaschine im Empfang. Keine Möglichkeit Handtücher zu mieten, wenn man das bei der Buchung übersehen hat. Reinigung im Bad liess zu Wünschen übrig, WC oberflächlich gereinigt, noch 3 Haare unter der Brille und schlierige Streifen, im Abfluss der Dusche waren Haare und das stehende Abwasser sah weisslich aus.

Pros:

Die Betten waren sehr einfach, aber bequem und sauber.

Cons:

Es war schmutzig, insbesondere die Dusche, sie hatte auch einen verrosteten Abfluss. Das Hotel schien eine Flüchtlingsunterkunft zu sein. In unserem "Doppezimmer", das runtergekommen war, gab es nur einen Stuhl, keine Möglichkeit Bekleidung aufzuhängen. Im Foyer gab es ein mehrere Meter großes Loch in der Decke, aus dem Kabel heraus hingen.

Pros:

Die Organisation und die Aufteilung des Zimmers hat mir sehr gefallen

Cons:

Leider hat unser komplettes Zimmer extrem nach Zigarettenrauch gerochen, im Badezimmer war es am schlimmsten. Das duschen hat leider nichts gebracht, da man danach noch mehr nach dem Rauch gerochen hat. :(

Pros:

Selbst-Check-in
Bett war in Ordnung, Wasserkocher mit Tee und Kaffee war auf dem Zimmer. Kostenloser Streamingdienst vorhanden.

Cons:

Das Badezimmer hat eine Renovierung nötig. Der Duschkopf und -schlauch samt Halterung müssten dringend ausgetauscht werden. Helle Fliesen wären auch besser, da sieht man den Kalk nicht so...

Pros:

Preis und Lage waren okay.

Cons:

Bilder im Netz stimmten nicht mit der Zimmerausstattung überein. Ausstattung war von niedrigerer Qualität, Zimmer waren nicht sauber, Umgang mit/ Reaktionen auf den Feueralarm mitten in der Nacht war nicht gut und schaffte kein Vertrauen, ob die Situation wirklich sicher war. Zu weiche Betten
