Great location for everything. Busy area with lots going on.
Pros:

Nice clean room with shower. Short walk from train station, also close to cafes and shops. So location could not be more central.

Cons:

Noise outside the hotel from discos and people drinking, was very loud making sleep very difficult as this went on well into the early hours.

NEVER AGAIN
Pros:

לא היתה ארוחת בוקר...
מיקום די מרכזי. מתאים לצעירים שרוצים לבלות.

Cons:

הכניסה אל "המלון", אינה ברורה ואינה הולמת. נכנסים דרך בר, שבו יושבים גברים ושותים.
מאחר ולא רציתי ללון בקומה שלישית בגלל המדרגות, הועברתי למבנה אחר.
המדרגות תלולות (ידעתי זאת והסתדרתי עם התלילות), אבל בקצה העליון, יש סיבוב, שבו המדרגות הולכות ונעשות צרות, אין מעקה להחזיק. הרגשתי מאד לא בטוחה ופשוט פחדתי. עבורי זה היה סיוט.
