Pros:

cijena je vrlo prihvatljiva. 25 eura za noc sa polupansionom nešto je što se ne nalazi cesto. vrlo dobra vrijednost za novac.

Cons:

zvucna izolacija je dosta loša pa ako imate slabi san izbjegavajte ovo mjesto

Pros:

よく眠れた点。

Cons:

大浴場のイス（プラスチック）、割れてました。壊した人がフロントに言っていないせいで、自分が座ったときに痛かったです。端に置いときましたが、結構腹が立ちました！！

安くて良かった
Pros:

二食付きで安かった。

Cons:

外国のお客様も多いから英語表示もあるといいと思う。
食事の時、調味料が日本語なので揚げ物のソースをかけたり醤油をお浸しにかけることができず、美味しくなさそうに食べていた。これはだいぶ残念だと思う。

Pros:

Чисто. До метро 10 минут пешком до центра минут 25-30. Есть свои бесплатные ансенына -1 этаже. Выдаются халаты. Есть недорогая стирка и сушка белья.

Cons:

Завтрак лично я не мог есть вообще. Пил только кофе. На ужин съедал жареную котлету. В отеле в основном местные и всё подстроено под них. Номер совсем крошечный.
