It was really nice, next time I stay here again.
Pros:

The location was great, the staff was very friendly and helpful, the room was clean mostly, the kitchen machines were nice.

Cons:

Inside the wardrobe the shelves were dusty, some more utensils would be nice in the kitchen, but overall we did not lack any particular item. But there was like only one fork per person or so.

My towel was Ditry after using it and when I asked for another towel I was told I needed to pay for it. They need to inf
Pros:

Even though the place is very old, it’s clean . The place needs new mattress and repair other than that it’s in a great location .

Cons:

I was a little disappointed because I was being charged for dinner I never ordered. I didn’t know they have restaurant because I was out all day long. They me to another room and apparently they pinned the dinner of previous person on me very disappointing. My room was changed at night. Eventually everything went fine by the end of the day.

Удобный, домашний отель в самом центре города.
Pros:

Очень понравился отель. Чувствовали себя, как дома. Номер был просторный, гостиная и спальня с красивым видом на город. Вкусные завтраки. Местоположение в самом центре, удобное для знакомства со столицей.

Cons:

Близость к ресторану, где играли ночные свадьбы. Шумновато.
