Pros:

Beliggenhed og en virkelig rimelig pris.

Cons:

Morgenmaden manglede noget. Der var det allermest basic. Jeg tror at æggene var lavet på noget pulver eller frysetørret el ligende.

Pros:

Lokalita skvělá, postel pohodlná. Výborné jídlo, ochotný a přátelský personál.

Cons:

Hluk nad námi, znělo to jako stěhování nábytku, coz není moc fajn, pokud brzo ráno vstavate na vlak.

Location

Cons:

The breakfast was exceptionally bad: bland and tasteless sausages, beans in tomato sauce that tasted of nothing, scrambled eggs in a shape of sawdust.
