Bad Hotel
Pros:

The stuff

Cons:

Let's start with the fact that the photos shown on the booking website did not match reality at all — as if the hotel had decided to use AI to create a misleading impression. The hotel was of very low standard. The gap between the price and what we received (or more accurately, didn't receive) was enormous.

The room was tidy and appeared clean, but there was a musty smell. The bathroom was not clean: the mirror was filthy, and some of the sanitary fixtures were so rusty they were falling apart. When we wanted to shower, we discovered there was no hot water because the water heater was broken. We were told we could shower in another room but sleep in the one we were given.

So we walked with towels to another room, only to discover that the water heater there was also broken and there was no hot water. We ended up having to move to yet another room — located right at the entrance to the hotel — just to take a shower. I’m not sure if that was more ridiculous or more embarrassing.

We asked for an extra sheet to place under the wool blankets and were given a dirty one. In addition, the internet was extremely slow.

One positive thing we can say about the place is that the staff were very friendly and did their best to help with everything. We understand it's not their fault — the real problem is that the hotel owners simply have no respect for their guests!
