For this price, it’s good option, but as o told to make more clear room - will be better.
Pros:

Price = quality

Cons:

Make more clean, in shower especially.

But nothing crazy terrible.

tutto sommato positivo e un buon rapporto qualità prezzo
Pros:

La posizione.

Cons:

per la colazione Solo caffè espresso o americano disponibile. Per fortuna di fronte c'è tous les jour e prendevo pane o altro. La stanza per 2 persone davvero piccola, le borse andavano sotto il letto, poche grucce per appendere

Faulty ceiling
Pros:

Good location and a good price.

Cons:

I woke up to water dripping on me from the ceiling. The entire bed became drenched and I had to take a shower as a result. I would not have booked this place if I knew that I would have received a surprise shower.
