Pros:

Gera vieta, pačiame centre. Personalas malonus.

Cons:

Vaizdas gražus tik registratūroje. Toliau, viskas baisu. Viešbutis turbūt neremontuotas nuo 1975 metų.
Nenoriu daug rašyti, tiesiog dedu nuotraukas, o jūs vertinkite. Tik gaila negaliu įkelti daugiau nuotraukų.

Amazing. Quiet. I had some great sleep.
Pros:

Ilis is outdated. It needs investment or a re-do.
All furniture is old and even some windows are broken.
My guess is that it was topnotch in the 60s.

But, it was only €65 at the time i booked. Now is 55, i believe. So i can't and won't complain.
I decided to give it a try for 3 nights to save on my 2 week vacation.

You know what, i had a pleasant stay...
The sweet older lady kind of running things for the owner (wild guess) made sure i had a nice breakfast.
Despite me telling her to keep it simple still gave me a lot of options. She's a sweetheart. The owner is lucky to have her.
And you know what else ? My nights there gave me the best sleep i had all week.
Because it was quiet. On my first night i was the only guest (yes...haha). I found that exciting and i snored from dusk til dawn in one go. Amazing.
But also because the old airco worked perfectly.
And the balcony window and door has shutters.
Pitchdark and cool in my room, in the hotel that was all mine. Just as good or better than a €100+ hotelroom.
Shower, old but good. Warm water.
Fridge didn't work. Wifi just as bad as any other hotel.
Only 2 elec. outlets, so it was either juicing up my laptop or watch tv. Small downside. Haha.
So tv worked.

The older lady deserves a medal. I'll remember her for life. But. Yah.
Great experience.

She gave me a room on a corner with view on a church and a beautiful tree. The birds sang great songs in the morning.

Cons:

Only 2 elec. outlets. Haha
That's all.

Pros:

Das Frühstück war außergewöhnlich gut. Besonders die Getränke zeugten von einer besonderen Qualität.

Cons:

Die Reservierungsbedingungen eines Anbieters (Agoda) sind undurchschaubar und entsprechen nicht den bekannten Verfahren (different prices on the website and in reality).

Pros:

Établissement très propre. La propriétaire est particulièrement charmante et prévenante. L'emplacement est idéal, sur la rue principale et juste à côté du loueur de jumelles pour faire une visite virtuelle du site !

Cons:

Hôtel qui a quelques années ! Les équipements sont succincts. Mais la propreté est irréprochable.
