+A la hora de hacer el check-in nos dieron muchísimas facilidades, personal encantador que nos resolvió un problema con la reserva sin poner ni una pega, es de agradecer encontrarse con gente tan agradable y dispuesta a ayudar

+Ich konnte erst nach Mitternacht eintreffen. Am Tag meiner Anreise erhielt ich genaue Informationen, wie ich zu meinem Schlüssel gelange. So verlief alles reibungslos. Toll fand ich, dass das Bett schon bezogen war. Somit habe ich die anderen im Zimmer nicht gestört. Die Unterkunft kann man sehr gut vom Stadtzentrum aus erreichen. Auch abends kann man durch The Meadows gehen, denn die Mittelachse, die genau auf die Straße mit der Unterkunft zuläuft, ist beleuchtet. Um Wertsachen einschließen zu können, empfiehlt sich ein kleines Vorhängeschloss, an das andere Reisende gedacht hatten. Handtücher kann man für zwei Pfund ausleihen.

+Emplacement idéal.
−La chambre qui nous a été attribuée ne correspond pas à celle de la réservation. Il n’y avait pas de chauffage, je suis tombée malade. Salle de bains qui mériterait d’être nettoyée. Aucune réponse aux messages envoyés. Télécommande de la télé qui ne fonctionnait pas.

“Nie polecam”
+Lokalizacja była ok
−Pokój był brudny. (Załączone zdjęcia) Ale najgorszym problemem było to, że ktoś z obsługi dał mi zły klucz, przez co zatrzasnęłam się w pokoju i byłam zmuszona dzwonić na 112. W czasie oczekiwania na 112 po korytarzu chodził właściciel (który był pijany jak sam przyznał relaksował się w barze), otworzył nas, ale kłócił się, że nie zwróci nam pieniędzy. Nie polecam

“Ok per un paio di giorni”
+Struttura con diversi bagni e due cucine Possibilità di parcheggio su strada di fronte la struttura
−La porta esterna ha l apertura con codice che dà problemi Abbiamo soggiornato in un sottotetto e lo spazio era davvero limitato. C era una squadra di calcio che soggiornava nel nostro periodo e i bagni erano sempre occupati..
