Für weniger Geld wäre es fast ok
Pros:

Für eine Person war die Zimmergröße ok, für zwei wäre es sehr klein. Es war sauber und gut gelegen. Check in hat problemlos funktioniert. Gute Verdunklungsgardinen. Sehr gemütliche Matratze, wenn auch sehr schmal.

Cons:

Zimmer sehr laut, da direkt neben Rezeption. Völlig überteuert für den gebotenen Standard. Auf wenn es beengt ist, hätte jemand mal unter de Betten wischen können nach dem letzten Gast.

Pros:

Ήταν σε καλή τοποθεσία, κεντρικό

Cons:

Το δωμάτιο ήταν απελπιστικά μικρό ούτε παιδάκι δεν θα χώρας, όχι 2 άτομα ενήλικα. Δεν υπήρχε ντουλάπα, μόνο 2 κρεμαστές. Πουθενά χωρος να ακουμπήσεις τίποτα. Απελπιστικά μικρό και το μπανιο
