Pros:

Il personale è molto gentile e disponibile ma purtroppo non basta.

Cons:

L'hotel sembra molto più bello dalle foto che dal vivo. Le camere sono pulite ma troppo rovinate. L'aria condizionata è vecchia e fa rumore. Inoltre la strada dove si trova l'hotel è veramente sporca e trasandata.

Pros:

Останавливались здесь только на одну ночь, т.к. летели в Европу. Нас встретил очень приветливый и обстоятельный молодой человек на ресепшене, который проводил нас в номер, заказал нам такси, разбудил нас в 5 утра, как мы его просили.

Cons:

В ванной не работал свет. Лампочка то горела очень тускло, то начинала моргать, то вообще не горела. Для нас это было не важно, мы переночевали и уехали. Думаю они уже это исправили.

Recomand!
Pros:

Am ales hotelul în urma recomandărilor de pe platformă, dar ne-a depășit așteptările. Camera spațioasă, confortabilă, curată. Suficientă liniște pentru un somn odihnitor. Personalul deosebit de amabil și receptiv la solicitările noastre, dar totodată foarte discret. Locația excelentă, centrală, aproape de magazine, restaurante, mijloace de transport și principalele obiective. La doi pași după ieșirea din hotel – Cornul de Aur în toată splendoarea sa. Mulțumiri speciale lui Enes, care ne-a ajutat în ziua plecării, asigurându-se că suntem preluați cu bine de taxiul către aeroport. Cu siguranță vom reveni dacă vom mai avea ocazia.

Cons:

Nu sunt aspecte de semnalat.

Локация (близость достопримечательностей и транспорта). Цена-качество тоже
Pros:

Расположение идеальное для прогулок в любую сторону. Нас приветствовал чудесный администратор с хорошим английским

Cons:

К отелю нет вопросов. Есть нюанс локации - выходит дверь в отель на очень грязную улицу
