Pros:

Удобно, что есть ресепшен. Он работает всю ночь и утро. Супер легко найти. Очень близко к вокзалу. Самый центр. Супер дешево. Была в шоке что были полотенца и дул в номере. Мне понравился кот за него плюс в копилку

Cons:

Если вы брезгливый человек, который любит чистоту и комфорт лучше проходите мимо этого отеля. Он выглядит примерно на столько - сколько и стоит.

For Youngsters only
Pros:

The location is good. Close to the Train Station

Cons:

Contacted them before arriving about having a health condition so preferred a room close to the ground floor. The hotel never responded. No lift so had to deal with a long staircase which caused me serious problems. The bed was the width of a bench. Very uncomfortable. No drinking cups or glasses in the room. Very bare.

18-30 apt, hostel standard hotel
Pros:

Location is perfect. Nothing else to like

Cons:

Very thin walls. People were incapable at closing a door to so there was constant slamming. Noisy at all hours. I've stayed before but I think im past the age where this is tolerable.

Shared bathroom, no toilet roll.

Mai più.
Cons:

Posizione troppo caotica, sopra i bar con gente che urla fino a tarda notte. Appena esci la zona è sporca, poco illuminata e degradata. In bagno non c'era nemmeno un tappetino e si rischia di scivolare fuori dalla doccia. Non c'era una presa della corrente per il phon (che se non avessi chiesto in reception non avrei trovato in camera). Le tende della camera erano più piccole delle finestre ed entrava luce appena faceva alba. Ho prenotato una stanza doppia e ho trovato due letti singoli e nemmeno vicini. Umida. 420 euro per due notti lì dentro è follia pura. Mai più.
