Pros:

Very old and very dirty hotel, especially the bathroom, the problem with hot and cold water, and the very old beds. I didn't like it at all.

Übel riechende Bettwäsche
Pros:

Günstiger Preis, freundliches Personal

Cons:

Die Bettlaken unseres Bettes haben nach Kot (?) gerochen. Wir haben das Problem bei der Rezeption gemeldet. Kurz darauf wurde das Bett neu bezogen - allerdings ohne Besserung :(

Mussten hier zum Glück nicht übernachten, sondern haben uns nur ein paar Stunden aufgehalten. Sehr schade!

Pros:

Staff was very helpful.

Cons:

As i am pure Veg. there were very few things available which was also placed just besides the meat and other non veg items. It's too discomforting. The day before check out they put doormat at bathroom at my last day of stay. There were pests also in the room like small cockroaches.
