          pulizia personale posizione

          siamo stati a novembre in questa struttura, 4 stanze, 3 bagni(uno con doccia l' altro con vasca).pulizia della stanza ottima, mobilio essenziale ma molto buono. teli compresi. a disposizione in bagno e cucina tutto quello che serviva per la doccia o cucinare.(c' erano addirittura alimenti a uso free). la stanza era riscaldata a dovere come il resto dell' appartamento, molto tranquillo come anche nella posizione. é in un punto nevralgico per spostarvi.attenzione al dettaglio: c' era persino una vasca di pesciolini nel corridoio e materiale informativo su una libreria. sotto casa un supermercato aperto fino a tardi, molti locali e bar,e cibo take away.il personale discreto e gentilissimo e importante.. sempre sorridente!!!molto sicuro l' accesso.. c erano delle combinazioni e varie porte che si aprivano dal portone principale fin su alla camera che è al quarto piano (c è l' ascensore).per concludere dico solo che sicuramente spero ci torneremo ma sentirei di consigliarlo a qualsiasi mio caro. ideale per coppie ma anche per famiglie o gruppi di amici.

          Нет однозначно плохого отзыва, но не рекомедую”

          Коммунальная тихая квартира в центре

          Мы останавливались в этом хостеле с 11 по 15 апреля. Бронировали заранее. Отдельно оговаривалось, что номер - дабл, кровати раздельные. Приехав - обнаружили, что кровать одна. Путешествовала я с отцом, сами понимаете, ситуация неприятная. Менеджер, Джудит понимающе поулыбалась - но и только. Обещания нас переселить в двухкроватный номер так и остались обещаниями. Было сказано, что дабл - понятие расплывчатое, про раздельные кровати надо было напоминать ближе к приезду, февраль, в котором мы заказали - слишком отдаленное время. Хотели съехать - деньги нам не возвращают, заказ этого номера не предполагал этого. Честно говоря, обслуживание на нуле. Хозяйка все время набегами, бывает редко. Плюсы лишь в том - что центр города и в хостеле на удивление было тихо и спокойно - но второй пункт - не заслуга отеля. Повезло, что компании были не шумные. Не очень чисто, на наволочке было пятно. В ванной грязновато. Частой уборкой тут не утруждаются, чистота на тройку. Не рекомедую. За эту цену есть варианты лучше. Повелась на положительные отзывы тут, поэтому и пишу сейчас.

          przemiła właścicielka, dobra lokalizacja hotelu

          Ujęła mnie przemiła właścicielka hotelu. Opowiedziała nam o mieście i o sylwestrowych tradycjach, w Sylwestra wszyscy goście dostali od niej szampana. Ostatniego dnia pozwoliła nam zostać dłużej w pokoju, aż do odjazdu naszego pociągu. Hostel jest dogodnie położony - w centrum, niedaleko 2 linii metra. Jest czysto i ładnie.
