Reviews
Hotel did not refund at all, zero flexibility.
On the plus side the reception is super helpful and recommended quite a few good places. The beds are very comfortable. There is a big hall where you can say your own meals. The colors of the sun are wonderful. It’s super convenient with 24/24 reception. And there is a baggage room.
There are so many things to do close from the hotel. And public transports are super close.
Only good point was the location, but never recommend anyone
The walls are super thin and the bathroom has no door. There was also someone make big noise with what sounded like metal carts until 1AM.
Don’t stay here, horrible place
One of the worst stays in years. Strongly do not recommend!
