The rooms on the first and second floors are old but spacious.

Very rundown rooms, the bathrooms are really cramped, the bathtub is horrible, full of breaks, and there is a strong odor that can be perceived as soon as you enter the room.

Preis-Leistungsverhältnis, abgelegene Matratzen, etwas billige Ausstattung.

Booking network, April 2026, rated 6/10 by this guest

At one point, the croissants ran out; in general, it was too expensive for a 4-star hotel that did not have the qualities of a 4-star establishment.

The beds are not comfortable at all, the rooms have no soundproofing (we could hear the hairdryer in the next room at 7 am), and we could also hear noise coming from outside.

To noisy very early in the morning (constructions in the neighborhood).

Uncomfortable room, TV in the middle of the room, no desk, dirty carpet, bathroom in an unusable hallway with no storage, bulky bidet, broken fixtures (toilet, cupboard), unreliable lights and switches, no shutters, direct view of an apartment building...common areas dirty, old, and dilapidated.

The lights in the bathroom are so dim that you can't put on makeup, but the terrible thing was the unbearable smell of sewage.

They should also address the issue of odors in the bathroom; at times, sewage smells rise up.

Heating and air conditioning13 of 2941 in 23 reviews

Maximum 2-star hotel, couple's trip, dirty and cold room (no heating), in December, electrical outlets falling out of the wall, carpet full of stains, very disappointed, I don't recommend it, breakfasts were adequate but repetitive, it's not a 4-star hotel, that's a lie, and to turn on the light…

A physical hazard4 of 294 reviews

What is absolutely not good are the plates and fruits of switches and electrical outlets, it is unacceptable to see and touch (at risk of personal safety) such a massacre.
