Value for your money accomodation with basic amenities
Pros:

Excellent location and a basic room for a roadside night halt stop. Staff is friendly and accomodating. They had an issue with one of the rooms we booked and upgraded us to an apartment.

Cons:

Tired look to this entire place but decent enough if you are only planning to stay for a night.

Non lo consiglio
Pros:

Il titolare era simpatico.

Cons:

La struttura è datata, la moquette non sa di pulizia, già per le scale si sentiva un brutto odore, capisco la zona ma 188€ a notte e non ti danno neanche la colazione.

Overpriced For Very Outdated Accomodation
Pros:

Nice pleasant friendly staff, Nice location

Cons:

Extremely dated & tired accommodation
Really loud & very annoying squeaky flooring in hallway leading to guests rooms.
Constantly banging doors
1970’s era varnished pine bedroom furniture
Dreary dim lit breakfast restaurant.
Breakfast not great quality.
Paper thin walls, grubby old shower cubicle & very old poorly functioning Electric shower.
Not Great!!!!!
