Cons:

Vlasnik smjestaja je pravi prevarant. Platili smo luksuzan apartman, a kad smo dosli, vlasnik nam je ponudio skroz mali apartman na skroz drugom mjestu, tvrdeci da ima problem sa nasim apartmanom.kasnije kad smo htjeli da pozovemo policiju, dao nam je drugi apartman. Bio je jako drzak i neljubazan svo vrijema. Pravi prevarant. Iako smo platili najskuplju ponudu htio je da nam da najjeftiniju.

Preis-Leistung war super! Würde es wieder buchen!

Kleines schönes Hotel in der Seitenstrasse! Seitenstraße leider nicht so ansehnlich. Aber nicht schlimm. Gutes Drühstück! Aufzug! Langsam aber ok! Sehr sauber alles! Gute Lage um.zu fuß bzw mit Taxifähre alles zu erreichen!

Cons:

Frühstücksbereich sehr sehr klein!
Wir hatten ein Familienzimmer, das war sehr sehr klein! Badezimmer für Familienzimmer auch sehr sehr klein.

Pros:

Завтрак , каждый день одинаковый , но завтрак хороший.

Cons:

Полотенца были постираные, но грязные.
Пыль везде.
За 6 ночей. Не убрались ни разу.
Кондиционер в номере был сломан.
Поменяли на новый на 5й день.
До этого 3 дня ходили , снимали старый.
Ставили новый. Намусарили. Никто не убирался.
Крышка унитаза была желтая.
За эти деньги еще сойдет

Nada bien
Pros:

La ubicación es por lejos lo mejor

Cons:

Cuando llegamos no quedaban habitaciones disponibles pese a que habíamos reservado con mucho tiempo de antelación. Nos enviaron al hotel del frente, el cual era totalmente distinto, bastante chico el espacio y nada para que el aire saliera, sin ventanas. Luego de dos noches nos enviaron al hotel y la verdad si estaba bien inseguro. Las instalaciones bastante malas, el ascensor crujía mucho y la ropa de cama estaba hedionda.

Pros:

Rien du tout. Immonde de A à Z

Cons:

Rien à voir avec les images. Bâtiment insalubre, sale. Les chambres puent, les matelas pas confortables,les draps sont sales et pas changés pendant 4 nuits. Les sanitaires vieillot et pas entretenu. Le petit déjeuner est insuffisant. Se trouve dans un quartier de manufacture de chaussures, l'insécurité règne. Bref, on a regretté d'avoir choisis cet hôtel. Le pire de toute notre vie.

Pros:

El desayuno. Variado y muy rico. Increíble.

Cons:

La unión del grifo con la manguera de la ducha no estaba muy firme y el edificio de al lado hace ruido (aunque es verdad que sobre las 22 30 deja de hacerlo)
