Pros:

Ik vond het vreselijk. Ik kon 's nachts niet slapen door het geluid van openslaande deuren en mensen die de trap af gingen. Een heel nare ervaring.

Pros:

Pour commencer j'ai été mis dans une chambre qui n’avais de rideaux , je retourner à la réception ,
On m'a donné une autre chambre qui n’avais pas été nettoyé depuis longtemps comme il n’y avait pas de salle d'attente le réceptionniste m'a invité à attendre dans le couloir devant la chambre. Je ne crois pas que c'est un vrai hôtel

Cons:

Je n’ai pas apprécié le bruits du personnel qui discutait dans le couloir tôt le matin.

Ça pourrait être bien si c'était nettoyé!!! et si vous ne laissiez pas les portes ouvertes la nuit.
Pros:

Le matelas confortable et la gentillesse du personnel. C'est tout

Cons:

Le boucan des voisins, musique a fond jusque 3h du matin. Impossibilité de dormir à cause de toutes les portes qui claquaient toute la nuit à cause des allées et retour. Je crois que c'était un repère de malfamé, entre musique de racaille, entre disputes, ébats sexuels, pleure.. on n'était pas à l'aise, on n'osait même pas faire de bruit pour ne pas qu'ils sachent qu'on étaient là.
Je pense aussi que la chambre n'avait pas été nettoyée depuis un bon moment. On aurait eu peur de se choper des maladies..

Das Hotel liegt sehr zentral. Ich hatte es nur für einige Stunden gebraucht zum schlafen. Das Bett war okay ich kann nur
Cons:

die Einrichtung des Hotel Zimmers ist total abgenutzt, kaputt teilweise, dreckig , alt, es lässt sich nur ein Fenster öffnen das Badezimmer ist eine Katastrophe. Die Fugen an der Dusche sind schwarz , schmutzig und abgenutzt
