Le pire hôtel de notre voyage
Pros:

En dehors du personnel de nuit , rien.

Cons:

C’est un endroit à fuir. Nous avons payé une chambre 9€. Nous sommes arrivés plus tôt et même si la chambre est prête, pour y accéder il faut payer 5€ de plus. Ensuite nous entrons dans la première chambre et une odeur insoutenable d’humidité. Le matelas et oreiller son rempli de moisissure !! Pareil pour la deuxième chambre ! Nous avons du dormir dans les dortoirs sans modification de prix.
La Clim dans le dortoir est beaucoup trop forte, le rideau permettant d’avoir un peu d’intimité ne se ferme pas jusqu’au bout.
L’hôtel est en travaux, donc le clou du spectacle était d’avoir le bruit des Travaux durant toute la journée. Et pour finir la wifi ne fonctionne plus.
La journée était très très longue
L’immeuble est dans un état déplorable.
Rajouter quelques euros et aller ailleurs.

Hotel aux conditions inacceptables donc réservation annulée immédiatement.
Pros:

Rien

Cons:

J'ai immédiatement demandé l'annulation de la réservation à l'arrivée à l’hôtel. Des travaux en face de l’hôtel faisaient un bruit énorme. La réception ressemblait à un dépotoir avec des cartons partout, il n'y a pas d'ascenseur alors que ma belle-mère a des problèmes de locomotion et le wifi était en panne d'après le réceptionniste. J'ai pris des photos car c'est inacceptable après plus de 3h de vol depuis Jakarta. J'ai dû trouver un autre hôtel en urgence pour ma famille sur une autre plateforme de réservation qui nous a coûté bien plus cher puisqu'à la dernière minute (D'Prima Kualanamu hôtel). Je suis très déçu et j'attends mon remboursement avant de reprendre les réservations sur Booking.com.

Pros:

Estancia correcta, cerca del aeropuerto, lo que necesitas para pasar la noche y al día siguiente salir temprano para el aeropuerto, también está dentro de un complejo de hoteles, supermercado y restaurantes. Genial si lo que buscas es pasar noche y volar al día siguiente

Pros:

The only positive thing about this place is its location, which is close to the airport. Other than that, I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Cons:

Our stay at Lively Hotel has been extremely disappointing. The room was filthy — there were mites, a hole in our sheet, and the mattress we’re sleeping on is black with stains. There’s mold on the ceiling, stains on both
the sheet and the duvet, and even a hole in the pillow. The entire place feels dirty and poorly maintained. On top of that, the hotel is incredibly noisy, and we haven’t slept at all during the night.

Mal
Pros:

La ubicación y el hecho de que tenga al lado un supermercado y unos cuantos restaurantes ha sido lo único positivo.

Cons:

El recepcionista ni hablaba inglés. Estaba todo en obra y muy sucio. La habitación es pequeña, muy pequeña. Lo justo para que quepa una cama doble y poco más. Las sabanas rotas, la ducha muy sucia y no había agua caliente tampoco.
