Ontzettend veel lawaai, allemaal werkzaamheden zonder dat daar iets over werd vermeld
Cons:

Allemaal werkzaamheden rondom het hotel (hele weg aan de voorkant lag eruit dus je moest je koffer door de modder sleuren en tussen de forkliften door), zonder dat daar iets over werd gecommuniceerd. Ook gingen de aan de achterkant opeens boren in de muur tot 9 uur 's avonds, en dat begon weer voor 8 uur 's ochtends. Dus nauwelijks geslapen, terwijl we wel de volle prijs moesten betalen, om te slapen op een bouwterrein.

Pros:

I like that a room was warm and fresh

Cons:

I didn’t like that there wasn’t any fork or knife or a plate. Just hot water and instant coffee . Even though they have big kitchen
If you have a sink it would be great to put some washing up liquid to wash our stuff
Bathroom is tiny

Pros:

Les vistes espectaculars desde la habitació.
Matalàs còmode.
Teníem opció de nevera a la saleta comunitària.
Molt bon esmorzar; pa acabat de fer.

Cons:

Està davant la carretera; per sort no hi havia molt trànsit i no hem sentit massa soroll. No pots fer passejades per la zona.
Habitació una mica petita.

Pros:

Mus pasitiko labai miela darbuotoja. Kambarys nėra didelis, bet mums dviems ir daiktams pilnai vietos užteko. Labai patogios lovos. Antrame aukšte, kur kambariai, yra įrengta poilsio zona, termosas su karštu vandeniu, padėta kavos, arbatos, cukraus. Taip pat šaldytuvas, kuriame galima pasidėti savo maistą. Mielai dar grįžtume.

Góð gisting á góðu verði
Pros:

Lítið en snyrtilegt herbergi og allt til alls. Notaleg setustofa með te, kaffi og kæliskáp. Einfaldur en góður morgunverður og þjónustan til fyrirmyndar.

Cons:

Stiginn upp á efri hæðina gæti reynst erfiður fyrir þá sem eiga erfitt með gang

Une étape très agréable.
Pros:

La chambre est spacieuse, la literie très confortable avec salle de bain privative, le tout très bien équipé.Une grande pièce à l'étage est équipée de salons et permet de se servir en boissons thé, café.
Un grand restaurant se trouve au rez de chaussée de l'hôtel.
La patronne est très serviable, malgré mon arrivée tardive, m'a proposé des boissons au restaurant qui était déjà fermé.
Je ne peut que recommander.
Rapport qualité-prix très supérieur à la moyenne.

Cons:

Rien, un accueil très sympathique vous attend dans cet hôtel.
