Juillet/2007 Une personne de Vienna, Austria pense:

• Evaluation générale: 1,9
• Recommenderiez-vous cet hôtel? Non
• Positif:
• Négatif: No consideration of the heavy construction noise- at least staff should excuse the noise, but none of that happened, in the contrary, they seem to blame the tourists for being too picky. This is the first hotel that should be shut down during reconstruction phase- I left immediately after the first night. A horrifying experience!!

• Chambre: 2,5
