Péssima experiência como um todo.

Apesar da boa localização, este hotel é um desastre. Instalações muito velhas — você tem sempre que pedir à recepção que o ar-condicionado seja ligado e desligado!, — café da manhã de péssimas qualidade e variedade, reposição irregular de itens essenciais de toilette, iluminação ruim e, para piorar, com staff não-confiável: basta dizer que combinamos um preço pelo translado para o aeroporto e, ao chegar, o motorista queria que pagássemos um valor maior, pois este valor maior havia sido combinado diretamente com o concierge, sem o nosso conhecimento. Resumindo: fuja daqui. Nota especial para o hotel: já passaram da hora de fechar para renovações. O quê os mantêm vivos, hóspedes incautos?

Worst hotel

Awful little room with no working TV or AC. No balcony or DVD player (although not necessary, it is stated as though every room has these). Paid cash, saw room, tried to get a refund but they refused. Don't go.

Uh-uh.

Are you kidding? This place should be returned to the 1940s. It's a fire trap, waaay past worn out.

Es un Hotel antiguo con personal amable, limpio, bien ubicado. Desayuno bueno. La limitación mas importante es la baja calidad de Internet , hoy es muy importante tener un buen WIFI para pasajeros que lo usan por trabajo. Deben mejorar ese aspecto y por lo mismo en las habitaciones un enchufe hoy con los celulares, computadores se hace insuficiente.

市内便利な場所にあります。バスターミナルは少し街中から離れますのでどこもあまり優劣なさそうです。ヨーロッパの伝統的な作りのホテル、古いですが手入れされており、水回り含めて問題ありません。周りは飲食店、土産物屋など便利です。観光案内所など徒歩圏内、英語が通じにくいのは街中も同じなのでしかたないかと。
