La ubicación

No funcionaba el ascensor y tuvimos que subir las maletas por las escaleras. Check out demasiado temprano a las 10 hs. Además para llegar a la habitación tienes que primero bajar por las escaleras luego atravesar el bar y luego volver a subir las escaleras para llegar al piso de nuestra habitación. Laberíntico.

"Prezzo esorbitante per servizio non adeguato."

1.0

Posizione centrale.

La finestra non si chiudeva, era in alto, non ci si arrivava e non si poteva abbassare nemmeno la tendina. Doccia e coperte con capelli di chissà chi, ascensore non funzionante con conseguenti 5 piani a piedi da fare con le valigie. Di notte persone nei corridoi che facevano rumore.

"Hotel bien ubicado pero ruidoso."

6.0

La ubicación es inmejorable. Estás en pleno casco histórico y podes ir caminando a todos lados.

El hotel tiene ascensor pero estaba roto y tuvimos que subir y bajar 3 pisos por escalera con las valijas. Además las habitación era muy pequeña y el hotel en general era muy ruidoso. Por suerte hicimos solo 2 noches.

"Functional, l was only in yo shower and sleep"

6.0

Location, spacious from the parts l’ve been at sofar. Laundrette is user friendly with added bonus of a ready ironing board and iron. Helpful staff at desk. Hardest working cleaning crew l ever saw. Kudos for that

A&O Announced the présence of two elevators, l was last in Januari, turned out two elevators had not been repaired to work since. For a German company it should pull its socks up, and/or omit the elevator presence from the Booking site.
