    Quite contradictory impression overall. Cant say Ll iss good or it is bad experience. We could change room to more spacious and with access to fresh air on the second day. Location quite centered Wardrobe and mirrors Good internet, one of the best we had across other hotels Polite host Worth money it cost i think so really cheap/simple. Do not expect some luxury for this budget which is normal. Reminds more hostel quality than hotel. Location was shared via google map and advise where to get off the bus to save time. This was cool
