Pros:

הצוות היה אדיב . פארק יין גון הייתה חביבה ונעימה והייתה קשובה. יש מטבח שניתן לבשל ומכונות כביסה. המיקום היה נהדר.

Cons:

היינו שמחים אם היו מחליפים מגבות לעיתים יותר תכופות

Výborná lokalita.
Pros:

Výborná lokalita. Umístění vedle rušných uliček plných různých krámků a jídel. Hotel/hostel klidný.
Internet dostačující. Takže možnosti na snídaně okolo je dostatek.

Cons:

Pro rodinu o čtyřech členech je pokoj docela malý. Fakt je to na hraně...
Ovládání sprchy v koupelně je takový takový zvláštní.
Na postelích byly cítit péra a člověka to docela dokáže rozlámat po náročném dni...

Gut gelegenes Hostel.
Pros:

Es liegt sehr zentral und man ist sowohl zu Fuß als auch mit den ÖPNV schnell überall. Sehenswürdigkeiten sind nicht weit.
Die Küche hat alles was man braucht inkl. Kalt und heiß Wasserspender.

Cons:

Das Zimmer ist in die Jahre gekommen. Teilweise geht die Tapete ab, aber es war alles sehr sauber. Eine Lüftung direkt am Zimmer woraufhin nachts sehr laut. Am besten gute Ohrstöpsel mit haben.

Good location but overpriced
Pros:

The hotel was very clean, the location was excellent, and the free laundry facilities were a great bonus, especially when travelling.

Cons:

The hotel was quite expensive, although this may have been due to the bank holiday weekend. The room was extremely small, and the shower was positioned directly above the sink, making it very uncomfortable and impractical to use. Overall, the room felt overpriced for the space and facilities provided.
