Short, anything but sweet
Cons:

The room was absolutely filthy and the lock didnt even work. Felt extremely unsafe and surrounded by creepy men - it isnt even a hotel, it's a room in a block of flats. I cried and ran out. Absolutely abhorrent.

Pros:

Osoblje je jako uslužno i ljubazno. Imali smo nekoliko zahtjeva, a oni su se stvarno potrudili da nam pomognu. Nismo znali da imaju drugačije utičnice, pa nismo ponjele adapter ( nismo mogli koristiti svoje uređaje) ali su nam ponudili svoje. Također, izašli su nam u susret te smo mogli ostaviti svoje kofere kod njih na čuvanje poslje check-out.
Hvala dečki!!!

Cons:

Tuš kabina je vrlo mala, i puna kamenca.
