Viesnīca ļoti patika un, ja būs iespēja, izmantošu to atkārtoti.
Pros:

Brokastis bija ļoti labas. Patika TV kanālu piedāvājums un kvalitāte. Istabiņā bija ledusskapis, elektriskā tējkanna un jauks interjers. Ļoti laba dušas kabīne, pieejams matu fēns.

Cons:

Varēja būt piejamas papīra salvetes. Netraucēja tas, ka nebija lifta, taču cilvēkiem ar kustību tas būtu traucēklis, lai pārvietotos starp stāviem.

Pros:

The location is fine, the breakfast was very good, it was also pretty cheap

Cons:

There is no soundproofing at all, I mean at all. We heard everything what happened in the room next to ours as it were in our room. I never ever experience that bad soundproofing, honestly.

Pros:

The room was cosy. The breakfast, and esp. the coffee, was excellent.

Cons:

I have been in a double room. It was perfect for a single visitor, but it would have been bad for two: 1) too small, 2) lacking anything besides bed for the second person. While s/he would need a chair and a desk.

Pros:

Asukoht hea, südalinnas. Hommikusöök samuti hea. Tuba ja hotell ise selline keskmine, nagu need vanemates majades kesklinna hotellid ikka on. Midagi negatiivset polnud. Vastas ootustele.

Cons:

Parkimiskohti maja ees vähe, meil vedas, saime ühe.
