− I vetri dell’appartamento tutti rovinati non sí riusciva a guardare fuori. Onestamente stare due settimane così è stato pesante. Aria condizionata viziata e puzza di muffa. ALLA MIA RICHIESTA DI RICEVERE REGOLARE FATTURA PER IL SOGGIORNO SI SONO RIFIUTATI DICENDO CHE LORO NON POSSONO EMETTERE FATTURA MA E’ BOOKING CHE LO DEVE FARE.

Comfortable accomodations

9.0

Staff was responsive and helpful. When the washer and dryer were not working, they allowed me to use the other machines on another floor. Also, they brought in a drying rack. Location was very convenient . I had a good time being there for 2 weeks.

− Staff will need to check the washer so that it is functioning properly. The machine was vibrating so loud and even moved with all the vibration. Thankfully, they took care of it. The bed is set up that you can only climb out on one side .

Hinta-laatusuhde oli kohdillaan! Suosittelen paikkaa!

9.0

Hinta-laatusuhde oli todella hyvä! Palvelu oli erinomaista ja huoneet olivat siistejä. Hotellia vastapäätä oli pieni ostoskeskus jossa oli todella paljon ravintoloita sekä ruokakauppa. 900 metrin päässä oli myös metroasema.

− Wifi oli välillä hieman huonolaatuinen.
