Spartanska rum. Svårt att ta sig till hotellet eftersom det inte gick att ta sig dit med bil.
Pros:

Låg i ett historiskt spännande område

Cons:

Svårt att ta sig dit-svårt att hitta.
Man måste ha bra kondition ,många trappor samt hala trappor. Icke fungerande AC! För varmt rum, för varmt för att kunna sova. Fick flytta in och sova i släktingars rum på deras soffa!
