Small but usable swimming pool and underground parking are positives; negatives include lack of complimentary coffee/toiletries, limited hairdryers and occasional food odours in pool area.
Value for Money
8.3
Several guests explicitly mention good or great value and price-quality balance; a few strongly negative outliers felt it was overpriced, but overall perception leans positive.

Reports of problematic breakfast service (order errors, pushy upselling), poor toast supplier and food smells near the pool indicate below-average F&B experience.
Overall Experience
8.5
Mixed-but-positive: strong location, helpful staff and a usable pool drive overall satisfaction for many guests, but cleanliness, some service inconsistencies and room maintenance issues temper the experience.

Pros:

Geräumige Suite mit großzügigem Badezimmer und Balkon.
Das sehr große Bett war mega bequem 👍🏼

Cons:

Klimaanlage sehr laut, die Schiebetür zum Balkon schließt nicht und war nur sehr schwer zu öffen. Das Personal an der Rezeption ist bemüht zu lächeln, mehr aber auch nicht. Das trifft leider auch (bis auf wenige Ausnahmen) auf die Bedienung im "Restaurant" zu.

Durch den doch anspruchsvollen Preis würde ich hier keinesfalls wieder buchen.

Good Solid quality budget offering in the City Great for a 1-2 night stopover
Pros:

Rooms were fine, but we were not expecting very much as the Circle Inn is a well known budget hotel in the City
however the staff were friendly, the rooms were adequate and for a one night airport stopover it suited our needs
we did not take the breakfast, as we were up early in the morning to go, all in all fine.

Cons:

room we were in started leaking water through the ceiling in heavy rains but we were immediately moved so no
issues.

Ottimo alloggio per 2/3 notti.
Pros:

La posizione vicino al porto e a diversi centri commerciali. Il personale al desk super efficiente e disponibile.
La piscina piccolina ma sufficiente per rinfrescarsi.

Cons:

Il condizionatore della camera andrebbe rinnovato, è rumoroso e dopo 2 giorni di utilizzo è diminuito di prestazione.
Nella zona piscina troppo rumore e odore di cibo proveniente dalla cucina.

Pros:

Everything is good.

Cons:

The TV is creepy because the volume keeps going up even though no one is increasing it. And even if we lower the volume, it suddenly goes up again after a while.
