Pros:

Cei de la recepție sunt niște oamenii de toată jena !!! Nu sunt deloc prietenoși ! Am rezervat o cameră pentru o noapte și când am ajuns la “hotel”, cei de la recepție au spus ca numai au nici o camera disponibilă și ca laptopul e sunt închise !!! Nu am intalnit asemenea oamenii ( daca se pot numi asa ) . Nu recomand !!!

Cons:

Un jeg de hostel cu oamenii deloc primitori !!!

Wouldn’t recommend
Pros:

Free parking onsite

Cons:

Bed was uncomfortable, room smelt like paint and the shower had no power. We attempted to get breakfast, after booking a table the night before, but there were no staff present. After waiting 30 minutes, we left having not eaten or seen any hotel staff. There was no answer on the main phone line, so a very poor experience.
