Decent

The rooms are fairly new though are starting to show some wear and tear. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was not worth the money, there's a great bakery around the corner and it's cheaper. Overall, it was what I paid for, nothing more, nothing less.

The drain in my shower didn’t work and the water flooded the bathroom floor. I had to stop the shower after a few seconds and then wash an arm and a meg at a time. It was frustrating. I think the hotel should discount my stay.

The hotel is fine for people on low budget bus tours, who are happy with mediocre breakfasts, but it lacks any local culture and is located in a boring part of town, but staff were friendly and there was nothing horrible about the place.

Chambre 308 salle, meuble abîmés, présence de poil et cheveux dans la salle de bain, sur le mobilier de la chambre. WC mal nettoyés aussi. Lit confortable et propre. Petit déjeuner à 12 euros qui est vraiment décevant, et ne met pas en appétit.

Bom para curta estadia

A estadia ocorreu tudo bem. O quarto é bem grande mesmo, e esse foi o ponto alto. Tivemos espaço suficiente para nossas malas e tudo. O café da manhã é bem simples, sem muita opção, mas bom. O hotel aparenta ser um pouco antigo também.

Glacial

J'ai l'habitude d'aller dans cet hôtel et n'ai jamais été déçu, sauf cette fois, où il faisait un froid glacial dans la chambre, sans possibilité de mettre le chauffage. Je veux bien qu'on fasse des économies d'énergie et qu'on soit éco-responsables, mais on ne vient pas non plus à l'hôtel pour tomber malade !
