What people say

Very good location; easy to find and close to many good resturants and shopping. It was only 15 mins walk to the UN so it was a good location. The breakfast was good and included in the price making the overall charge good value for what one gets. Rooms are very clean as well as the bathroom facilities. Staff are friendly and responsive to customer needs.

Free internet access and a full breakfast included in the price were also appreciated.location is good. Location was very good.location, free wi-fi. Breakfast.The internet access. Everything was nirmal. The price.Location.When I had a problem locking the room door from the inside (at about 11.45 at night, when I first returned to my room) a manager was called from off-site and came to help fix the problem within about 20 minutes.Location and reasonable breakfast. The proximity to the Lake and the Train Station. It was easy to find and very central (as desribed in your site). The breakfast was of good quality.breakfest. Location and free internet. The central position. Absolutely nothing. Nothing!. Nothing - I checked out a day early. Hotel don't smoking, but in rooms (I stay two days in two difference rooms) steady smail of tabac. I'am smoking person, but for me it was not so comfortable. Rooms looks a little bit like hotel for hour :), red walls etc.street is a bit noisy at night (very close to pubs). Smoking in bar. The walls must have been paper thin -you could easily hear your neighbour's conversations (or TV-set) and the furniture was quite worn.shower is not really good. The hotel looks ugly on the outside, but the rooms are nice. Young ladies came in at 5AM yelling and slamming doors and woke me up. There was no water pressure for warm water!. the room was a bit too small (for a double room) - about 15 m2 incl. bathroom. the room was freshly renovated but the bathroom door would not close. the whole hotel is a bit tired, although the renovation is in process.The beds are separated.It was under renovation .The noise from the street outside and the poor service at breakfast.It is "train station" type hotel. Dark room.The reception is poor. Bathrooms are ok, some rooms are beingrefurnished and it was almost impossible to move in the corridors asthey are very small. Lift old styled and small.The hotel is in the process of being refurbished, but it's a bit tacky. In the room I found someone's underwear on the floor and there was a used bandaid stuck to the wall in the shower. The cleaning staff leaves much to be desired. The safe was locked closed although I did not use it. The room also smelled like an ashtray.Room not cleaned properly, items left behind by previous guests were still in the room.Yes, the hotel is not well maintained for eg.: the floor in the bedroom in some places are caving in, the floor to floor carpeting was dirty and old, the bathroom size was okey but the toilet was complety loose and moved with you when you stood up. For the price it was a pretty run-down place.The room was really dark, even during daytime. THere were only 2 lamps beside the beds in the room, no light in the ceeling, nor at the working desk. I ask for a lamp for the desk, but it didnt help. at the breakfast it was really smoky, the waitress smoked next to the breakfast tables, and she let the cigarette running all the time.Service. It was antiquated and badlky kept. The lift was out of service. Room and furnitures are worn out and dirty. Found a used shaving blade in the glass in the bathroom. Reception did not inform about the free public transportation ticket they should give. Breakfast was in the bar.Everything! The hotel is so horrible!!! Never ever will I consider thatas a place to stay.. Never in life is that a 3-star hotel!! Horrible! Ichecked out within the hour that I checked in. No air conditioned rooms - very noisy - also they insist on a photo copyof your credit card which is left behind the reception desk.In additionthey overcharged me, which I am taking up direct.
