Werde das Hotel vermutlich nicht nochmals nutzen.
Pros:

Cappuccino war wirklich gut :) lediglich - wenn man das nicht mag - muss man ausdrücklich ohne Schokopulver bestellen.
Was noch gut war: Kleine Flasche Mineralwasser (gratis) im Zimmer & das Personal!

Cons:

Die Größe des Zimmers sowie die Größe des Badezimmers empfand ich im Bezug auf das Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis als nicht stimmig.
Umfallen kaum möglich. Schreibtischstuhl stößt an Bett an. Keinerlei Kofferablage (dafür ist das Zimmer zu klein). Keine Klimaanlage, kein Ventilator, kein Kühlschrank, was bei diesen Temperaturen für mich eine Katastrophe ist.
Wenn man dann noch dazu den "Vorteil" genießt, dass man entweder in Zimmer 102 (so wie ich) oder 103 einquartiert wurde - welche direkt am öffentlichen Gehweg bzw. der Straße liegen - kann man nicht mal das Fenster öffnen, da zu viel Verkehr -> somit zu laut und die Fußgänger laufen einem fast durchs Schlafzimmer...bildlich gesprochen.

Je n y retournerai pas
Pros:

La localisation

Cons:

Pas d air conditionné, bruyant, personnel du petit déjeuner antipathique, la
Machine pour obtenir la carte de la chambre ne fonctionnait pas, on a passé 45 min au téléphone avec une personne puis enfin ça a fonctionné et apparemment cela fait un mois que ça ne fonctionnait pas bien.

Ben arredato, ma il cliente non ha possibilità di alcun feedback, tanto da sentirsi abbandonato!
Pros:

L'essenzialità e modernità degli arredi e una discreta pulizia della stanza, abbastanza silenziosa.

Cons:

L'assenza totale di personale alla reception a qualunque ora del giorno e della notte, che lascia un senso di abbandono totale a se stessi. Anche il bar caffè per la colazione era totalmente chiuso e non è stato possibile ricevere aiuto e consigli su qualunque problema, a cominciare dal dove poter fare colazione la mattina.

Ich war , wie bisher immer, mit meinem Aufenthalt in Ihrem Hotel sehr zufrieden.
Cons:

Ich würde empfehlen, an den Stühlen im Zimmer Filzgleiter anzubringen, damit man ( aus Rücksicht auf andere Hotelbewohner ) beim Schieben der Stühle nicht dieses laute Geräusch verursacht .
