Pros:

Много отзивчиви рецепционисти, любезно обслужване. Хотелът е с много удобна локация в тиха и спокойна уличка.

Cons:

За съжаление ресторантът работи само сутрин, за закуската, когато няма групи. Стаите имат нужда от сериозно освежаване. Препоръчително е да се сменят мебелите с по- нови, доста са овехтели, мокетът също. Абсолютно неприемливо е хотел с 3 звезди, да има само раздърпани завеси и да няма перде или щори на прозорците, а цените не са ниски!

Pros:

some of the staff were friendly and the bed was comfortable

Cons:

the Aircon sounded like a tank driving through the room, there was no curtains on the window!! I went down to reception and reported it and was told this would be rectified, I returned to the hotel later to find there was still no curtains up, I went down to reception to complain to be confronted by a drunken woman on reception asking me what do I think she should do about it!!
I think I had 1 hour sleep before a full day of travelling, never again

Pros:

Everything is good.

Cons:

Breakfast was too basic. But now you can get real coffee from the reception instead of the crap they used to serve in the restaurant.
