Pros:

Close to bus stop, quiet, free parking, bathroom was clean

Brilliant option for affordable, tidy stay quite near to city with free on site parking
Pros:

Price, the room was tidy, and free parking, easy bus access to the city centre within 15 minutes drive.

Cons:

A microwave would have really helped; they should have one in their dining to heat food.

Na jeden - dwie noce okay, ale nie w zimowych porach
Pros:

Lokalizacja, przystanek autobusowy pod budynkiem

Cons:

Ogrzewanie było włączane tylko na jedną godzinę (w okolicach 22), co w styczniu i przy takich temperaturach jest tragiczne. Dodatkowo czystość i urządzenie łazienki była kiepska. Brak aneksu kuchennego - jedynie do dyspozycji był czajnik i kubki

never ever again... dont ruin your vacation in this place
Pros:

this is not a hotel. no staff from 5pm onwards. they will be available 10 am. very old and dirty. hot shower not working. no lift and when others pass by you can fell the stump of their feet. all the doorks are eeking.. better close your old house. cleaning every 2 days thats what they said. after 2 days they just replace towel and toilet paper not even picking the old towel. such a f&@$ service.
if you arrive early no one will open the main door for you, you will freeze outside

Cons:

staff not friendly
cleaning every 2 days
water leaking in the sink
hot shower not working
after 2 days no cleaning was done just replacement of towel
