Pros:

Nothing. If there would be sub zero score, I would post it. First of all, pictures are misleading.

Cons:

My mistake was that I didn't read the reviews. Like the others visitors said, the building is full with cockroaches, and it's being ran self-service. You have a remote controller to open the main door. If you face any problems, good luck. There is no parking of course, that was the lure. Trams are running all the time outside which makes it very noisy. Apart from that it's very dirty, there is a very bad smell of still air inside the building and the whole situation is very weird. The real price for that thing would be 10€ per night maximum. A real rip off.

Pros:

Warm room and clean bed.

Cons:

Well, I think the worst hotel I have ever been, I could understand that since the hotel is only 1 star it will not be luxury, but the basic sanitary rules should be followed, shower is dirty, cockroaches and no hot water. First time I encountered so called "late check in fee" I needed to pay 2.5 euro to get keys from the shop across the street...
