"The value for money is completely unreasonable. For the same price, there are far better accommodation options."

3.0

We stayed for two nights as a family with two children. It was a complete disappointment. Starting from the reception area, where there was not even a bathroom available, and ending with the extremely uncomfortable mattresses that made it difficult to sleep well. The location and the view also did not feel good at all. It was very noisy during the night, and from around 6 a.m. garbage and other trucks were constantly making noise outside. We also did not like the overall attitude and approach of the hotel. Welcome water for $2 is not really welcome. At breakfast, when we asked for a normal coffee from the coffee machine, we were told we had to pay an extra $5 on top of breakfast paid.
