Corram desse lugar
Pros:

Da hora de ir embora desse pulgueiro apesar da boa localização.

Cons:

Reservei devido a localização ser no centro,que eu gosto e ser o único que tem parada de Bazbus por ali.Só não sabia da simplicidade do local. É muito pobre para mim que busco certo conforto. Os corredores são muito estreitos.Nao há recepção com cadeiras e,ao se entrar, há uma espécie de cozinha. Os quartos são muito antigos, compostos por uma cama e uma TV.Ventilador é de teto,quase não funciona e faz um barulho incômodo, além de ser ligado em uma corda que há nele.Nao há café da manhã. A recepcionista não gosta de usar tradutor o que torna a comunicação muito difícil. AGORA,O PIOR É O BANHEIRO. ELE FOI IMPROVISADO CONSTRUÍDO DENTRO DO QUARTO MESMO, NÃO TENDO NEM PORTA OU ALGO QUE O SEPARE,ALÉM DE SER MUITO PEQUENO. FOI UMA DAS PIORES HOSPEDAGENS QUE JÁ FIQUEI EM 60 PAISES E 20 ANOS.

Pros:

Thank you for the warm welcome. Thank for arranging a more private room for me, that was nice of you.
The place is clean and safe .

Cons:

However I didn't like the smell of cigarettes, yes people smoke from outside but because of space the smoke gets inside the house. For me thats not a pleasant smell as it triggers headache and tight chest.
Maybe if you can shift the smoke area to right at the corner under the carpot maybe that will be better. Also i would prefer the toilet to be private especially when youre sharing with other people but other than that all is we

Pros:

Λυπάμαι αλλα μόνο η τοποθεσία είναι καλή... τίποτα άλλο.

Cons:

Βρώμικα παλιά σεντόνια με λεκέδες, απο το κρεβάτι έλειπαν τάβλες και το στρώμα σχεδόν ανύπαρκτο, Δεν είχαν πετσέτες ούτε καν με χρέωση.
