6/10 Good

Very eh

Location was fantastic and room was quiet. But the beds were uncomfortable, the bathroom smelled like sewer gas, the ac was very weak, and the internet signal was unreliable from our room. For the price, I would stay elsewhere.

2/10 Poor

Had a horrible experience at Hotel California. On my last night there, I was woken up by water dripping from the ceiling. I notified the staff right away (at 3am), but since there was no other room available, I was forced to stay in the room with the water dripping till the „bathroom issue” upstairs was resolved in the morning. My suitcase was soaked and I got no sleep, yet the hotel refused to offer any concession for my terrible experience.

We have a great time, the hotel is very close that every where. The people who work there are helpfully, respectful I will recommend this hotel .

Sunroom was nice and clean. Bathroom stocked. Bed clean and comfortable. When I arrived the elevator was broken. They email me two days prior. It was fixed quickly. That whole staff was thoughtful and attentive to my needs. Great suggestions and took time to show me areas that could be sketchy. Had a great time. I'll stay again

Eric, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I can highly recommended this hotel. The only downside is the location especially in the evenings. I didn’t always feel completely safe as a woman traveling alone. On the other hand, the hotel is right in the heart of the city center, so it’s very close to the metro, shops etc. The staff is so friendly and made me immediately feel better when I checked in. Even early check-in was possible which I didn’t expect. The room was really clean and had everything you could need. Also breakfast was really good!
