Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
leider entsprach unser Aufenthalt nicht den beschriebenen Standards. Bei Ankunft war das Zimmer nicht sauber, und es fehlten Handtücher sowie Toilettenpapier für drei Personen. Die Toilette war defekt und musste zweimal repariert werden. Ein Zimmerwechsel wurde uns trotz der Umstände nicht angeboten. Das Frühstück war qualitativ unzureichend, Geschirr und Besteck mussten ständig nachgefordert werden. Zudem liefen während des Frühstücks Straßenkatzen im Küchen- und Essbereich herum. Trotz mehrfacher Hinweise auf bestehende Allergien wurde keine Rücksicht genommen, wodurch es zu gesundheitlichen Beschwerden kam. Das Zimmer war sehr klein und nachts durch andere Gäste extrem laut, sodass kaum Schlaf möglich war. Mehrfache Meldungen an der Rezeption führten zu keiner nachhaltigen Verbesserung. Die zentrale Lage war positiv, jedoch wurden unser Aufenthalt und die Erholung massiv beeinträchtigt. Ich bitte daher um Prüfung und eine angemessene Teilrückerstattung.

Par quoi commencer.. le personnel était vraiment très bien par contre nous avons eu des blattes dans notre chambre. Le lit bébé était tout cassé, ma fille s’enfonçait dedans. Aucun autre lit était disponible. Il n’y a pas de SPA, ni de piscine dans l’hôtel. C’était plus liens dans la rue. Les chambres ne sont pas du tout insonorisé. On entendait tout ce qui se passait dans la chambre d’à côté. Pour le petit déjeuner, les boissons chaudes étaient couper à l’eau et il y avait quasiment que du salé. Nous sommes très dessus de cette hôtel malgré tout les commentaires positifs que nous avons vu sur celle ci
