Für eine Nacht haben wir es überstanden.
Pros:

Wir haben ohne Frühstück gebucht.

Cons:

Das Zimmer war sehr klein. Zum Glück haben wir kein Übergewicht, sonst wären wir nicht ums Bett gekommen. Also das heisst das Zimmer war sehr, sehr klein für ein Doppelzimmer. Auch das Bad.

Mediocre hotel stay
Pros:

The only good thing was the breakfast, food quality was great and the person at the breakfast room was super nice.

Cons:

The room was incredibly hot, it was impossible to get any sleep because of that. The fan was barely making any difference and because of the position of the window, no air was coming in. The matresses were very uncomfortable and overall level of cleaness was not great.
