How are the rooms
Compact but well designed, very 'instagram' friendly. Clean and functional no concern for a one person for two it would be a bit tight.
What was good and what was bad?
Check in was painfully slow, it didn't matter how the reservation was made it was painfully slow for all. Only one staff member on duty but appeared to have up to 4 positions available. Anytime I passed through reception in the evening there was a queue.
Rooms are compact (think Paris compact) but functional, clean, quiet and in good order (Hotel is only just opened). Minimal desk space so not a place you would try to do any serious work from.
WiFi worked, no messing just a simple password
Breakfast was actually pretty decent for a bottom of market product
While this was booked through Radisson rewards site, on a cash rate with free cancellation, Prizotel does NOT count for status nights and it does NOT earn points. Invoice shows VIP status but statement shows as non qualifying stay. It is not shown in the program T&C's despite appearing all over the website.
Value for money or Gold Points? Would you return?
Good value on cash at 68 euro/night compared to paying 130+ in what was the outdated Hilton nearby (now reflagged as a Dornit) The new Motel One might a better option
