Wouldnt recommend
Pros:

Location.

Cons:

Room was dirty, hairs in bed and and room not mine. Sheets dirty and with holes in them. Room was hot and stuffy with a small fan only no air con.
Lots of homeless people directly outside the entrance which made me feel unsafe. They were yelling all through the night.
The guest in the room next to me was talking and yelling all night long so i got practically no sleep the 2 nights i was there.
Also no lift so had to carry heavy bags up stair cases.
Shared bathroom was dirty, no soap/shower supplies. Also no toilet paper most visits.
Unfortunately this is one of the worst places ive stayed in and would not recommend.

Hotel v ulici plné bezdomovců
Pros:

Pokoj byl v poradku, cisty, Bylo tam misto na kufr, raminka, umyvadlo. Personal byl prijemny.
Hotelova recepce je za tremi mrizemi, mela jsem v pokoji pocit bezpeci.

Cons:

Spolecny zachod na chodbe byl neustale obsazeny. Vana neodtekala.
U vchodu do hotelu byli nezdomovci. Jsou v cele ulici. Nebyli nebezpecni, ale nebylo mi prijemne kolem nich chodit.
