Excellent location, room was big, modern with a big shower room and a balcony. The night porter was particularly friendly and very helpful. No coffee or milk in the room (tea and sugar though). The breakfast was a let down with stale pastries and underwhelming choices. Some areas (landings) look tired but overall, I would go back and recommend this hotel.

정말 최악이었어요

방의 크기가 너무 작아서 캐리어 펼치면 다니기 불편한 정도 였음. 조명은 너무 어두웠고 화장대 앞에는 전등이 없어서 로션도 바를 수 없을 정도로 어두웠음. 침대는 삐걱거리고 매트리스는 스프링이 내려 앉아서 허리가 아팠음. 화장실 세면대 수도꼭지는 방향이 잘못되어서 물을 트는 순간 옷을 다 버릴 정도로 앞으로 물이 튀어 나왔음 사용한 수건 교체를 해 주지 않고 축축한 수건을 그대로 둬서 받으러 다녔음 두번 다시 가고 싶지 않음

Hotel nao cumpre o que optamos no hotel.com

Um hotel inesquecível. Pessoal nada cordiais , primeiro o pessimo quarto, colocaram um colchao encima de um colchao menor. Quarto pequeno com mofo. Reclamamos e disseram que pelo hotel.com seria aquele estilo o quarto oferecido no 2 andar. Nunca mais me hospedo nesse local pessimo.
