  "Hesperia Fira Suites, great if the price is good" Umsögn frá gesti Hotels.com á 3. jún. 2011

  Stayed there with my fiancee for 6 nights in the end of may 2011. We received excellent service arriving at the Hesperia Fira suites and through our stay. The staff was kind and gave us good directions regarding transportation. On arrival we were greeted by a bellboy who walked with us and held our luggage to the suites from the main desk at the Hesperia Tower (apartments/suites are about 50 meters from the Tower). This hotel is the kind that looks expensive in design and materials but in my opinion lacks in maintenance. F.ex. in our bedroom the light bulbs on the wall lights were too strong to be kept lit for long and had burned a big darkbrown stain in the wallpaper which didn't only look bad but is also a great fire hazard. The air conditioning was very good but you could see that in one place a cover for the fan had gotten loose and had actually only been haphazardly taped back in place. The rooms were very clean and our dishes were even washed for us when we left them in the sink. There's of course a minibar, a fridge and a Nespresso machine in there. We found no need for two flat screen TVs, one in the living room and one in the bedroom, completely unnecessary in our case. The metro was our transportation of choice and it is very convenient. A metro station is located about 2-3 minutes walk from the Hesperia Tower/Suites. Travelling with the metro however did get tedious because we travelled a lot around the city. After a long day in the city it could be tiring sitting in a metro for 20-30 minutes on the way back to the hotel. I'm not sure I'd recommend this hotel for people who are staying for more than a week and plan on ransacking the city but for a shorter stay it's fine. Behind the hotel there's a quiet and cozy street with small supermarkets, fruitmarkets and some fun little boutiques to check out. The environment around the back of the hotel is definitely worth checking out and walking around in.
