Un bello hotel por Lic. Rogers

Navegando por internet me encontré con una página muy especial. Habla sobre lo que probablemente es el mejor hotel en Amsterdam. Fue en este lugar cuando Chema se convirtió en un asalta bolsas de putas. Hablo del...









MANOFA!!



Como olvidar tan maravillosos cuartos... con ratas!






No encontré fotos del hermosísimo cuarto en donde nos toco quedarnos. Pero bueno, aquí hay unos cuantos reviews sobre el hotel (nada que ver con lo que nosotros pensamos):


what a dump, the pictures on the site do not give a fair representation of this hotel. me and my wife arrived at the hotel had to climb about forty steps before we got in the hotel reception no help with our bags was provided. we then checked in we were on the top floor fourth floor again no help with bags (no lift) as we were about to enter the room the next room to us was blaring out music as loud as possible we entered our room there was no room to pass each other it was that small. one of the beds pillows had a hole in it there was a light not working the room was very dark there was a hole in the wall, a wire hanging down over the bed where a light should have been a wire hanging off the wall in the en-suite. we did not dare leave our things in the hotel we went to look for another hotel. we found the crowne plaza just around the corner a very nice hotel and for the same price we paid online!!! we went back to our hotel and checked out. the reception girl only said why didnt we asked to be moved to another room...my answer was what other room could you have put us in the place is a dump...her reply well we are only a 2star hotel...that is no exscue for holes in the wall, wires exposed and holes in the pillows and general cleanliness poor. i would not recommend this hotel to anybody i have stayed in better b&b's for less. the worst thing about the hotel is the safety issue we did not feel safe and dare not leave anything in the room. do not stay at this hotel!!!



O que tal este...

I am sure there are more revolting places to sleep, but I certainly don't think they cost over 100 euros a night. It smelled hideous, the carpets were toxic, sticky, and stained with god-knows-what, the "breakfast" in the overpriced hotel downstairs (which we found out was included accidentally) is just cereal and old ham and cheese, the towels were yellow and smelled of cigarettes, the bed was wobbly and the linens filthy, there are no elevators in a 4th floor walk up, no soap at all in the bathroom, the shower curtain was gooey and slimey, and 3 people of our group had their passports stolen from their rooms. There is a sign behind the front desk that says they are not responsible for any items left anywhere o othe premises, presumably so they can make a few extra euros off lifting passports. The pictures on their website are a best-case-scenario, possibly the only good thing that can be said is that the bathroom fixtures seem to have been installed in the last couple of years, and the there was tv, albeit fuzzy. The location is very convenient, but there are about a million other hotels in the area so don't bother with this one.


O bien...

Well, I've just got back from a 3 night stay at the Manofa. We booked it a week before and i happened to stumble across these reviews on the internet. Needless to say, I wasn't too keen on staying, but seems how we had to pay the first night, we went to see what it was like and planned on going somewhere else if these reviews were true. We were in a room for 4 on the second floor. There are lots of steep steps and no lift so don't go if you struggle with stairs. Don't take a haevy suitcase like me either. The bathroom was clean, so was the linen and the beds were fairly comfy. Fair enough, the building is old, but not falling to pieces or anything. The TV had music channels so we were happy with that. I think the rooms that share amentities on the lower floors are probably a bit worse, but ours was fine. We saw no rats and the staff assured us that they were brought in by a guest and that Rebnto-kil gor rid of them, so don't let that put you off!!The hotel is very close to the station and right in the middle of everything. The breakfast is a bit rubbish though, buns and ham and cheese, and if u leave it til 10 there might not be much left. oh, and I wouldn't pay for the 'Full English' wither as it was the worst cooked breakfast I've ever had.All in all, this an OK hotel.

Para finalizar...

I´m sure this hotel is a part of criminal organisations, while i stayed there at least 3 passes were stolen. People were walking in and out of the hotel all the time, may i say suspicious people at the least! Walked to the reception, got a key, went in to the hotel and came out about 5 minutes later. I was sitting for an hour or so in the reception room (yeah they got a sofa there!!) and alot of kids (local it seemed) went in and out like they had an agreement to go in and loop passports. You are safer to keep the passports on you than in this hotel!!


Pero bueno, el manofa es el manofa, digan lo que digan.
