At first I tried my best to NOT like this place, but I refrained from reviewing too fast. I'm glad I did!
Upon our arrival I was met with, dare I write, snobbery. We were early, and knew we could not check in just yet, but we were still hopeful that we'd be met with open and accommodating arms. Especially after our extremely early morning traveling had began, but no such luck. In a "Sorry, you stupid American" tone, we were told "Two O'clock Check-In Only." Ok, ok, I understand I replied, but can we securely drop our bags and go see some sites and grab a bite somewhere?
They did have a closet where we could stash our belongings, but no real receipt accountability method, which was a bit disconcerting, but it still did the trick.
After a whirlwind site seeing expedition and some grub, we returned in hopes of an early check-in. Wa, wa, wa... "No early check-in, two o'clock only," they retorted in true Soup Nazi tone. So, we camped out in the lobby and watched dozens of people check-in early. Obviously that was annoying! So, after a spell and a shift change, I re-approached at 1:30 and we were allowed to check in. Thank goodness!
So, to make a long story longer, I was not impressed at first. However, once that breakfast spread the following morning was laid out, we began to soften our emotional dissent a bit. Then as days went by, we began to enjoy the room and accommodations more and more.
The room itself was large enough to accommodate all four of us. And for those of you Westerner Travelers who are aware of Europe's smaller hotel rooms, you might be pleasantly surprised. The bathroom was large, clean and we had plenty of towels. The A/C worked fine and we were able to get a few English channels on the teli.
They have computers in the lobby to get online with to check-in for your return flight and print off your boarding passes. Furthermore, when the second leg of our return flight had been canceled, the desk clerk assisted with calling the airline on their phone.
So, all n all, after the initial greetings and bad vibes subsided, it turned out to be an enjoyable stay. Good location; Uber picks you up at the doorstep and off you go to the sites. So, I'd stay here again, but hopefully those snobby employees will treat their guests a little better in the future.
