Close to what I needed

5.0

Convenient location, easy check-in.

− Stairs are quite narrow and uneven (leaning to one side). Lots of noise from guests above and in the stairwells - walls are paper thin. Room is quite small but enough for a solo traveller. Cracked tile in room which was not mentioned after the room was booked. Shower took a long time to heat up. No fridge available in room despite being mentioned in the booking. No place to leave luggage, left unattended in hallway. Stored elsewhere for security reasons.

Sorprendentemente bueno. Limpio, cómodo y espacioso. Excelente ubicación. Buen valor por el dinero.

− Nada que decir

wer nur für eine Nacht kommt, reichts aus - längerer Aufenthalt ist nicht dafür geeignet.

5.0

Lage war in Ordnung, Bett war bequem. Toilette war sauber.

− Fernseher hat nur Kanäle. Wlan hat nach einem halben Tag nicht mehr funktioniert. Handtücher und Müll wurde nicht abgeholt. Dusche hat keinen druck/ Warmes Wasser kam selten und heruntergekommen. Kaputte Fliesen auf dem Boden. Schimmelflecken an der Heizung. Badezimmerschrank verschmutzt. Personal war nicht erreichbar vor Ort und telefonisch. Fenstergriffe waren heruntergekommen. Gardinenleiste hängt schief. Toilettenspülung war viel zu leicht.
