Dobra lokalizacja
Pros:

Bardzo blisko centrum, największy plus, dobra cena jak za lokalizację

Cons:

Brak możliwości zaproszenia kogokolwiek do pokoju, jeżeli dostaniecie pokój na samej górze to będziecie mieli dość męczące wejście do pokoju (4 piętro wąskimi schodami)

The stairs! It was steep, especially if you have bigger luggages I wouldn’t recommend this hotel, my dad almost fell from the stairs while coming down with a luggage, it’s horrible, very dangerous

Precio, ubicacion, escaleras
Pros:

Excelente ubicacion y precio. La habitacion es pequeña pero funcional.

Cons:

Nos toco en el ultimo piso, las escaleras muy inclinadas, traiamos carry on entonces no batallamos mucho, pero si llevas maleta grande es para tomar en cuenta. El pago en el alojamiento solo aceptan en efectivo, lo cual no recuerdo haber leido.
