Fine but breakfast can be made better
Pros:

1. Location is good.
2. Property was clean.
3. You can catch tram in front of the hotel.

Cons:

1. Breakfast was disappointing. Number of options were very limited. No cakes, no brown bread. White bread too was put inside a closed box.
2. Room was very small

Ein Kurztrip, aber angenehm und erholsam.
Pros:

Die Lage am Rande des Zentrums war für mich perfekt.
Das Frühstück ließ keine Wünsche offen.
Das Zimmer ruhig, sauber und komfortabel.

Cons:

Ich hatte eine Anfrage bezüglich Parkmöglichkeit gesendet. Die Antwort war, dass es keine Zusage gibt und erst vor Ort geklärt werden kann.
Dass man direkt vor dem Hotel halten kann, um das zu klären, wurde nicht geschrieben. Auch dass es in der Umgebung und direkt gegenüber des Hotels günstige Parkmöglichkeiten gibt, hätte ich mir als Antwortinfo schon gerne gewünscht.

Leider schlecht.
Pros:

Die Lage

Cons:

Das Bett eine Frechheit. Die Matratze war schon alt und durchgelegen, weshalb wir kaum schlafen konnten. Es war auch unzumutbar, dass die Garage voll war und die Gäste irgendwo parken mussten.

It's like McDonald's - you know what you get beforehand.
Pros:

High quality budget hotel, as you expect from Premier Inn. Mattresses are comfy, pillows are a bit too foamy in viscosity for my likes (but some like that). Room was clean and well lit, bathroom is current standard. Polished commercial chain hotel experience, enough said.

Cons:

On the stay two weeks before the reception woman was kind of dry and unfriendly. This time the guy was good and ok though.

Pros:

Kambarys tvarkingas, prastoka garso izoliacija

Cons:

Nors viešbutis centre, bet aplinka atrodė nesaugi, požeminis parkingas mažas, nebuvo laisvų vietų, teko automobilį statyti gretimoje aikštelėje, kuri buvo praktiškai nesaugoma.

Great short stay in a perfect location!
Pros:

We stayed here for one night and highly recommend it. The hotel is perfectly located right in the city center – top attractions are just a few to 15 minutes' walk away, there's a shopping mall right opposite, and several public parking lots nearby. The room was comfortable, the bathroom unexpectedly spacious for a hotel, breakfast delicious with a great variety, and the staff extremely helpful. While an in-room tea and coffee setup was available, a nice touch for this standard would have been a small fridge and a bottle of water (or a hallway refill station / note about tap water safety).

Cons:

Lack of a small fridge in the room and complimentary drinking water (or a hallway refill station / note stating if tap water is safe to drink).

Good hotel
Pros:

The room was clean and the air comditioning was wotking, which was useful that time. The hotel is close to attractions so we didn't need any public transport. The breakfast was good.

Cons:

The extra bed for our daughter was not comfortable, very tough. This is sth for change
