Pros:

Jó helyen volt, közel a buszmegállókhoz.

Cons:

Koszos szőnyeg, foltos, hajcsomós. A wc-t alig lehetett lehúzni. A kád repedt volt. Nagyon fülledt meleg volt a szoba és az egész épület. Az ablakot nehezen lehetett kinyitni, hogy legalább éjjel jöjjön egy kis levegő.

Friendly staff, beautiful rooms. Will definitely visit again!
Pros:

The room was lovely. Staff were extremely friendly towards myself and my partner. They changed our room to make it easily accessible due to having a newborn.

Budget, basic and Fawlty towers
Pros:

The room was nice and big.

Cons:

The bed was broken and dirty. the mattress dropped into a whole in the base, which meant poor sleep and a crooked back.
The shower water pressure was poor.
The plug sockets cracked and appliance wires needed to be at a certain angle for them to work.
We walked in and there was a dish sponge in the middle.of the room.
We had 2 pigeons nesting outside the window that made noise all night.
There was a smell of sewage from the bathroom the whole time.
Generally the hotel is more of a hostel, but people have their own rooms.

Very random, but reasonably cheap for a reason
