Great location! Bring your earplugs
Pros:

Location was great, staff friendly and clean

Cons:

Room was a bit warm and, as warned, noisy. Just popped in the noise cancelling headphones and slept just fine.

Pozitie buna, dar multe neajunsuri
Pros:

Foarte bine amplasata, in zona cea mai vesela si vie a orasului

Cons:

Ferestrele nu se pot inchide, la mai multe camere din grupul nostru au fost defecte, astfel ca tot zgomotul de afara se auzea inauntru. Daca este o zi calduroasa, asa cum am prins noi, in camerele de la etajul 4 este un adevarat cuptor. Sunt acolo niste ventilatoare, dar care nu faceau fata. La un moment dat era groaznic de cald inauntru.
Este o locatie care anunta ca nu ofera mic dejun, dar problema este ca nu ai nici in jur unde sa-l iei. A fost nevoie sa rezervam la 10 minute de mers, la o cafenea.
E un hotel care se adreseaza petrecaretilor si celor care nu au nevoie de prea mult confort.

Enjoyed staying here very much.
Pros:

Very helpful staff; enjoyed the onsite restaurant and bar. Very clean facilities.

Cons:

I wouldn’t say that I didn’t like this, but I was surprised by the length of this hotel. Long connecting hallways. Small stairs to go up and down on to connect to another hall. It was unique. It was a bit confusing at first.
