Avoid it at all cost
Pros:

Location

Cons:

They are shady with the pictures they show. The bathroom has a big hole in the upper side of the door that faces directly the bedroom. I made a complaint with Booking for false advertisement (if I have had seen a real picture of the distribution of the room I would have not chosen this hotel); and they had the nerve to justify with excuses and say they showed the real split in the webpage.

It will feel unsanitary to have the bedroom and the toilet basically in the same environment. Do not stay there. What pisses me off more is the fact they lied saying they were transparent with the pictures of the rooms.
