I had called beforehand and asked for a room for 2 adults and 2 children. It would be available when I checked in and then found that there were only 3 beds in the room.When asked, they rudely said that was just the way it was.Absolutely not recommended

The structure itself presents itself quite well, the beds are comfortable and the room is bright. Too bad they don't make the room so they didn't change the towels or even make the bed. The breakfast is in line with the price, nothing exceptional. The staff is friendly and kind and the price is good. The WiFi is very slow. The location of the hotel is the sore point, you have to pay attention. Being close to the station there are people trying to sell you drugs, also two streets away there is the red light district where we accidentally ended up to escape immediately, full of drunks and drug addicts! A lady was smoking a crack pipe let's talk about it... Zombies around...

1. The staff was rude. I arrived earlier than check in time and wanted to ask if I may leave my luggage there. The receptionist spoke really rude and asked if I know reading my check in time (before even hearing me out, as I didn‘t even think to ask for the check in). In the end, he said it was ok for me to leave it there, but the „luggage room“ was really tiny, already full and my luggage big enough. Then he asked me to put in the cleaning supply room after he took the cleaning cart out. By the time I arrived later my luggage was already taken out from there and put in the breakfast area.2. The surrounding area is really shady and worse than imaginable. Full of drug addicts, drunk and homeless people.3. The security of the hotel, especially in such conditions (described above) was very poor. Each morning and evening was a different person at the reception. I stayed for 4 nights and never seen a person twice. Almost daily the entry card got deactivated and I had to request to the front desk to reactivate it. They never asked for a document to check if I request activation for my room, only asked for the room number, even though they have never seen me before. By this I mean anyone staying at that hotel could have entered in any room.4. There is no noiseproof. My room was on the groundfloor and I could hear anything happening on the reception, the cleaning staff who spoke on the hallway, them vacuming the floors, other people talking.5. It wasn‘t clean. In the bathroom upon arrival there were at least 4-5 hairs in the shower and on the bathroom walls. Discusting to be honest.6. I used my „do not disturb“ sign 3 days (1 day until 11 and the second day until 1 pm). On the third day when I left the room and wanted to take the sign from outside, the sign was gone. Not sure if any other guests have taken it (don‘t see the point) or the cleaning staff (probably bothered they had to „clean“ the room after 12 pm (If what they did could be called „cleaning“).

A well located hotel. Quite expensive for what it offers. The wifi worked very poorly. The treatment was very good, the rooms were modest.

is a simple hotel, everything is a bit older. But it is conveniently located a few meters from the main station. Price and performance are ok. Everything clean.

There was minor damage to the sink and walls, despite being in one of the upscale roomsThe four stars are because I was able to sleep really well on the large box spring bed.The staff was very friendly and helpful .In the hallway on the second floor it definitely smelled like a chip shop and it wasn't pleasant.The price-performance ratio is reasonable.Best regardsJakub Bak
