Terrible hotel. We specifically (small children) booked a junior suite a month in advance, but upon arrival they said there were no junior suites. Okay, we agreed to the standard. No elevator. With two children and 3 suitcases, I had to climb the stairs myself. After the journey, tired, it was unpleasant. Although, they could help. Dirty, especially the stained bed. The shower head is leaking. I asked to change the bed and towels, the answer was received that we only change them once a week. The youngest fell ill, was examined by the doctor who works there, and said that the baby had recovered, but not because of their food. And we only ate at the hotel. The food is quite poor and not varied. There is no kettle, cups or glasses in the room. Wi-fi doesn't work anywhere at all. The administrator is irresponsible, they asked me to do the documents in advance, but I had to wait a very long time. Terrible!!! I don't recommend it!!!
