Reviews
1. My husband squeezed into the shower stall with difficulty, the toilet is under the sink...
2. Service - I gave it a 2 only for the reception - they check you in quickly, help you take your suitcases to the taxi when you leave.
We returned at 11:50 to close the suitcase, wash up and check out - the room was open, everything was taken off, towels and the bed were made up, and the cleaner kicked us out...
3. Breakfast - nothing tasty, you can only eat vegetables and boiled eggs. Drinks - diluted to zero.
Pros
Location - there are inexpensive eateries nearby, going up - a direct avenue to the sights, going down - shopping arcades
Roof with a view and some rooms
I do not recommend
It had character.
The room is clean. The hotel staff is very friendly.
As you leave the hotel, on the left is a canteen, budget. They cook simple food, everything is tasty and inexpensive.
And there are also a sea of cafes around!
We liked it!
