Pros:

Bardzo dobra lokalizacja z wygodnym dostępem do komunikacji miejskiej, której działanie na terenie miasta jest na znakomitym poziomie. Super obsługa panów w recepcji hotelu. Pokój czysty z wszystkim czego potrzebujesz, choć trzeba przyznać, że nie pachnie luksusem :)

Cons:

Śniadania pozostawiają duży niedosyt. Wybór produktów mocno ograniczony, a część dodatków, sałatek, zwyczajnie niesmaczna. Biorąc pod uwagę liczbę gości, troszkę mało miejsc do konsumpcji.

Niet het geld waard!!!
Pros:

De omgeving van het hotel

Cons:

Alles was vies dikke vlekken in het bed en bloed op de handdoeken waarna we een nieuw kamer kregen die de zelfde gebreken had

Spokojenost s lokalitou a snídaněmi, nespokojenost s ubytováním.
Pros:

Dobrá lokalita, příjemný a ochotný personál, hezký výhled z balkonu, snídaně dobré- velký výběr,

Cons:

Parkování 15€/den v hotelu mi přijde hodně, nebyl v pokoji koš na odpadky, ručníky sice čisté, ale vykazovaly známky opravdu dlouhodobého používání, protékalo umyvadlo na zem, na snídani mi chybělo sladké pečivo, pokoje a interiér se skutečně zasekl někde v 80. letech (žádná inovace, rekonstrukce), koupelna se záchodem byla sice čistá, ale na hotelové úrovni není. Ubytování bych celkově hodnotil 4 z 10.
