Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
Staff at the hotel are helpful and professional, there is a lift on the premises. The room I received could only be heated by me calling on reception, I'm not sure if it was just my room with a faulty system or if it was the whole hotel.They tried to work around it- it was okay but obviously not ideal to not have that freedom. The room was small, clean but not great. The lighting is stark and cold.The shower was large, but I noticed it had a leak I forgot to report this as it was quite significant. The bedding didn't have a mattress protector but they made up for it with an extra sheet. I think the staff are trying their best under difficult circumstances (which is comendable) They have a decent buffet breakfast and the cleaning staff and restaurant staff are welcoming and pleasant, which is noticed and appreciated. It's okay for 1 or 2 nights.

Super Preis-Leistungsverhältnis

Das Hotel liegt in einem sehr schmutzigen Quartier, sobald man jedoch hineingeht, ist alles bestens: Grosses, sauberes Zimmer, bequemes Bett, grosser Fernseher, reichhaltiges Frühstück. Unschlagbar für den Preis.

The hotel was very nice in all aspects. The reception people were wonderful, smiling and helpful, check in was fast , easy and smooth, even though my plane was late and I arrived at the hotel after midnight. The room was very good in terms of space, cleanliness, and beds, and contained all the necessities. Room service was daily. Breakfast includes the basics and is very reasonable for the price charged. I had reserved the room for one night and extended my stay for two more nights.
