Do not come to this hotel.
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Unfortunately, my experience at this hotel was very disappointing. The room was dirty and significantly smaller than what was shown and described when I made the reservation.

Another major issue was that breakfast was advertised as being available on Booking.com, but there was no breakfast provided at the hotel.

The most serious problem, however, was the presence of mice walking around the room. This made me feel extremely uncomfortable and unsafe during our stay.

Overall, the hotel did not match the description or expectations. I would definitely not recommend this hotel to other guests.

Horrible
Cons:

L'établissement ne correspond en aucun cas à l'annonce.
Quartier mal fréquenté
Pas de place pour se garer
Très mal reçu à la réception si on peux appeler ça une réception et ne parlons pas de la chambre 3 petit lit sale, ongle couper sur la table de nuit, reste de nourriture dans le frigo, clim vétuste, salle d'eau crasseuse, toilette collé au mur et j'en passe, nous devions rester 2 nuit, nous sommes restés là 1er nuit car le voyage était long et nous étions fatigué mais départ le matin de bonheur.
Établissement à fuir

Cons:

Fick inte alls frukost , ägaren var ärg för att jag har betalt för litet och booking.com har bara sänkt priset. Fick värsta rum i källaren utan ac eller fläkt. Det skulle har varit dubbelt rum men fick single dåligt rum i källare.

Pros:

لا شيئ كله ليس كما في الصور ولا يوجد مصدقيه

Cons:

سيئ جدا ويوجد عفن في الفرش
وكل الصور الموضوعه ليس لخا اي صله انها مجرد صور لمكان اخر وليس لهذا الفندق وكما انه كان معروض مع وجبة فطار ولاكن لا يوجد شيئ من ذالك ولا يوجد اي ما هو مذكور في الاعلان وكما ان الفندق في مكان داخلي وضيق والغرف لا يعيش بها حيوانات حقا
لا انصح به ابدا
كما اني اتطررت لشراء فرش خارجي حتي اتمكن من النوم
لا انصح به
اصعب 3 ايام قضيتها
