Here is the English translation of your…

Due to time constraints, we chose a hotel based on price. We checked the reviews and were more or less okay with it – we knew what we were getting into. We started looking for a hotel late. We’d recommend choosing something closer to the city center, although there is a bus stop right in front of the hotel that takes you directly to the center for €3.5 per person (via the GVB app – the hotel staff recommended it). That part was great and not a problem at all. On the very first day, we had an issue – the window wouldn’t close. We reported it, and they immediately offered us a room change, provided we moved by 10:00 AM, or we could wait until the next day when a technician would come to fix it. The weather was nice – warm and dry – so we decided to wait. The technician came the next day and repaired the window, so everything was fine. They apologized for the inconvenience and offered us complimentary breakfast – which was a nice gesture. The next day, I woke up thinking I’d just let it go – these things happen. But as soon as that thought left my head, the fire alarm went off – the smoke detector started beeping and the whole hotel was sounding the alarm. We immediately thought the issue was in our room, but it didn’t occur to us that it could be somewhere else. We stepped out into the hallway where other guests were gathered too, but eventually the alarm stopped – probably a false alarm. We had breakfast at the hotel because there wasn’t anything special nearby. The surrounding area is more tailored to the Turkish or Muslim community – nothing against that, but there weren’t many traditional restaurants. Just a heads-up for anyone who wants to sleep at the hotel and eat breakfast elsewhere. For us, the routine was simple: breakfast at the hotel, shower, WC, and then a bus ride straight to the city center, where we spent the whole day. Otherwise, everything was fine. The room was taken care of. The price matches the quality.
