Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Rooms look better than in reality. The hotel seems to have focussed their refurbishment on the reception area than the rooms. No hot water on the first night, low water pressure throughout the stay. Room smells of smoke and the noisiest air conditioning unit. Top it off the Managers were unresponsive and incompetent. General Manager and other staff were fine and helpful.

Personalmente lo consiglio come posizione e per il silenzio però personale indisponente, la doccia era rotta e mi hanno detto che l’aggiustavano quando saremmo partite! Per le pulizie rifacevano il letto e pulivano il bagno ma il resto era sporco. Non passavano il pavimento della stanza e nemmeno spolveravano le superfici. Molto gentile il ragazzo del deposito valigie. L’unico che ci ha accolto con un sorriso. Non ci tornerei.
