Leider hatten wir keine Alternative!
Cons:

Das Hotel ist maximal einen Stern und nicht drei wert. Es war brütend warm im Zimmer. Es gibt keine Klimaanlage. Nur ein Ventilator konnte wenigstens zum Luft bewegen genutzt werden.
Im Badezimmer war es so heiß, dass man beim Reingehen Schweißausbrüche bekam. Es gab kein kaltes Wasser - nur lauwarm bis heiß. Das Badezimmer lag direkt am Aufzugschacht. Das Zimmer war schlecht isoliert, somit hat man von den Nachbarn alles gehört. Die Lage ist ziemlich außerhalb. Man hat einen längeren Fußweg in die Innenstadt.
Alles in allem die schlechteste Unterkunft, in der ich jemals gewesen bin.

Excellent choice for crashing for the night
Pros:

It is in a peaceful neighborhood and simple accommodation

Lack of air conditioning and good food options. You have to walk at least 1.5 km to get good food in the town center

Shit hole!!!
Pros:

N/A

Cons:

Biggest shit hole I have ever stayed in. The room smelled of weed, the curtains didn’t fit the windows so couldn’t close them, the chair was broken the bath panel was hanging off and was contemplating sleeping in my car. Was by far the worst hotel I have ever stayed in and can honestly say will never stay there again. Shocking how they even have the cheek to charge £85 for a room in that state. If environmental went in there they would close them down.

A quiet gem with lovely staff
Pros:

Several stays over the past few months. Always the same experience: super friendly and professional staff, clean rooms, a peaceful, unpretentious atmosphere and an old-fashioned charm.
