Pros:

Die Lage war toll!

Cons:

Um das hotel war ein gerüst und vor dem hotel wurde die Straße neu gemacht. Also komplette Baustelle.
Die rezeptionistin meinte, dass es nicht laut ist. Spoiler alert: es war sehr laut. Die Bauarbeiter haben sogar nachts gearbeitet. An erholsamen Schlaf war nicht zu denken.

basic accommodation that was managed for two nights.
Pros:

Just a basic accommodation for sleeping

The stuff was rude to me when I had to go they talked about me and I didn’t feel welcome they are fake i saw so many thi
Pros:

The building is having some work at the moment and having the builders 24/7 non stop working, talking, being loud, noisy and nosy also gossipy… it didn’t make me feel nice at all and of course this lack of privacy is a big con

Cons:

The walls are not sound proofed and the curtains are not blackout they can be seen from the outside
The beautiful bathtub in the bathroom doesn’t work but the shower yes does
Theres 3 huge windows in the bathroom that have this blurry sticker but just at the bottom so again is visible from other floors and the blinds are a bit curved and some broken so again same issue no privacy and I couldn’t switch off the light it was activated through a sensor and it used to switch off after a long long time maybe an hour
