Nie polecam,drogo ale brzydko

Hotel nie jest na poziomie hotelu 4 *. Brudna recepcja, balagan na pulpicie robia zle wrazenie przy wejsciu.W lazience niedorobki, w pokoju wiszace kable od telewizora, ktorego nie mozna wlaczyc. Wygodne lozko. Okropna jadalnia z brzydkimi lodowkami, sniadanie podane niechlujnie, jedzenie niesmaczne, zeschniete pomidory z mozzarella, jajecznica zimna, masla brak - jest tylko margaryna. Mila obsluga.Cena nieadekwatna do jakosci

Trevligt läge i de judiska kvarteren.

Hotell med vänlig personal. Frukosten var inte direkt överdådig men ingick i ett bra rumspris. Personalen är hjälpsam och tillmötesgående. Lugnt område trots det centrala läget. Trevligt restaurangtorg utanför.
