Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located near a metro station, making it easy to explore the city. The rooms were tidy but not spotless, and the balcony was a nice place to relax. The service was extremely helpful, especially at the rooftop bar. The dining experience was below average, and the facilities were under construction during my stay.
The hotel had rooms that were extremely small, making it hard to move around with large suitcases. The view of the railway station and trains passing every 15 minutes was not ideal. However, there was a slight improvement noted, possibly reaching a three-star level.
My first stay at the hotel was a comfortable experience despite some noise from the road. The rooms, although a bit worn, provided a cozy stay. However, the lack of complimentary water was a downside. The service was excellent with helpful and knowledgeable staff, but the lack of information on metro schedules inconvenienced us. The location was convenient, next to a metro station and eateries, though be cautious due to some safety concerns when out at night. The dining options exceeded my expectations with a variety of dishes to choose from. The facilities were satisfactory overall.
The hotel's location is convenient for public transport and exploring tourist spots nearby, but it may not be ideal for noise-sensitive guests due to the busy surroundings. The air-conditioned rooms offer adjustable temperature control but fall short on sound insulation, allowing external noise to penetrate even when windows are closed. The service provided, though friendly and helpful, comes at a very low cost, indicating potential quality trade-offs. Dining options, while not meeting high expectations, offer a decent selection. The hotel's facilities maintain a standard level of functionality.
The hotel had better-equipped rooms with bed side tables and lights but the room layout was awkward, especially for families with big kids. The bathroom was small and had an unpleasant smell, resembling more a storage room. The service was a mix of very friendly and helpful individuals along with some unwelcoming and rude encounters. The location, though near a train station, offered views of neglected buildings, while the dining options were diverse, ranging from great local and international choices to a disappointing expensive buffet. Overall, a place with a mix of positives and negatives.
The hotel offers decent-sized rooms with attached balconies that overlook a busy main road, which can get noisy with trams and trains. The morning rush at the dining area can be overwhelming due to large crowds. The service provided is generally polite and friendly, although some staff members may not be knowledgeable about certain services like metro schedules. The location is convenient, close to metro stations and various tourist attractions, with good food options nearby. The dining experience varies, with some nice options but occasional disappointments. The facilities are satisfactory overall.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were slightly small for a couple like us, making it a bit cramped, especially with an old and in need of renovation setting, particularly the bathroom. However, the staff was polite and helpful, which were the standout positives of this place. The location was a bit away from everything but still had some nice perks. The dining experience had good variety but lacked a nice atmosphere. Overall, there were some drawbacks but also some redeeming qualities to consider.
The hotel has a convenient location, close to the theatre district and easily accessible by public transport. The rooms are small and have a terrible smell in some cases, making it challenging to move around with bigger suitcases. The service is friendly and helpful, recommending nearby dining options. The dining experience offers incredible cherry juice and abundant delicious vegan options, but traditional food can be poor quality. The facilities are basic, with no standout features.
