    It was very noisy. You were able to hear the neighbours in the other rooms. The facilities were in an old habit. The shower was moldy and I wouldn't enjoy showering there

    The staff was friendly and the room has everything you need for a minimalistic stay of one night.

    If I could give -5 I would. First we arrived and they put us in a room where the cigarette smell was unbearable, even though there are signs everywhere to not smoke, the group of people which looks like to be owners are the ones smoking everywhere. Also, they told us the toilet was private but we saw other people using it. We asked the staff if we could change rooms because of the cigarette smell and he was very helpful and we got a different room slightly better, no smell of cigarettes but it cost the Wi-Fi connection, so 3 days without Wi-Fi. Also the rooms were not the cleanest neither. The city center is not close neither, but I was aware of that. So in general there are no perks to stay in this hotel. it is expansive for what you get, so you can definitely get better deals.

    The staff was helpful, but that is the only good thing I can say.

    - coudn't sleep, you hear everything especially dicussing stuff at 2am next to the room. Do not recomment rooms near reception - lots of spiders in the barhroom - old fernitures, destroyed Fyi - there is no cattle, fork/knifes or plates so if you want to eat your own breakfast be aware of that

    - free parking but if you travel by public transport you can find better accomodation in the center for same price so parking was the only plus for us You can find much better accomodation for same price near City center but you have to add parking fee (amount depends of zone)

    Brilliant staff but the apartment was quite awful.
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Two-Bedroom Apartment
    • Stayed 2 nights

    Where do we begin - I believe some of the smaller rooms are probably much better, but we had an apartment (2) - it was in the building beside the main reception - but extremely aged - looked like it used to be a pub ?? but it looked like nobody cared for it - old washing machines left in the bathroom (not working), very old fittings, and not only that but cheap, windows and floors and walls in bad condition and there was fungus on the walls and damage - beds looked good but mattresses and pillows very thin and also the blankets and dirty under the bed sheeting and bed sheets with lots of stains, The he sofa was wet when we got in ?washed or ??? But dried out in a few hours. The kitchen was very aged too. A lot of the electric switches were coming off and damaged. Dorr handles were loose and one of the rooms didnt have any so when my child shut it they couldnt open it - luckily all rooms were interconnected, we just moved some furniture - the reception did then come out with a portable door handle and opened it ???!!! As I say the reception area looks quite decent and I believe some of the other rooms are probably quite good even but this apartment needs some serious TLC - and it could actually make decent accommodation for upto 10 people - even with a minimal investment - and throwing out a lot of the useless furniture and eye sores. And we are not ones to suffer for luxury as such. It was quite expensive probably cause it was over NY eve - I wouldnt pay as much as I did under normal circumstances.

    The staff at reception was brilliant - did everything we asked and promptly, spoke very good English, really first class as they are concerned, also ample parking, heating was very good as well although we had to tone it down

    Sound proofing between rooms is lacking alot. Heating system was very good but it was making annoying sounds that disturb sleep. Lighting the room requires improvement but was just borderline acceptable.

    Priced well and staff was friendly. Facilities in the bathroom worked superb from heating to hot water.

    the bed was smelly, the sheets were of dubious material, there was an OSHA violation in the common rooms (live wires hanging from the ceiling which go to the lamp), the toilet was soiled on under the lid, the tiles were falling down, the door could not be closed and every square meter was tapestried with "we do not take responsibility for your things left at the room". A filthy hole and also an expensive one, where after seeing this we didn't even slept. A horrid place I will never ever visit, not even by a mistake.

    nothing. Absolutely nothing. Just look at my "what didn't you like section". It has literally NO upsides. It's even expensive. In front of the "hotel" (which actually it is not), there were also some dubious people standing around and being noisy. Really I can't say anything good here

    dirty room, old door like we could see outside the room through it, bad smell, very,very very warn out furniture, so very out of date bathroom, and super noisy from the other rooms ,we could literally take part of all the others neighbours conversations , full of workers and young people that came there just for a one night stand , definitely not the place to get some rest on your trips , in the outside yard there were some men that had a party chat with long chats and beers until 2:00 am and no one from reception told them anything.And for all that we payed 50 eur . This is the kind of place that needs total renovation and total change of attitude. At any time I prefer sleeping in an old , rusty car in a petrol station than in this place. I can asure everyone that this place will be in this state for at least 1 year from now one ,and I want to make sure all the others who run into it, are informed correctly about its state , In spite of all this ,stuff was friendly but with all the other inconveniences ,that is really not enough for a good night sleep.

    The only thing we likes was the friendly stuff

    ●Facilities are very old and badly maintained ●Towels were very old and looked awful ●no air-conditioning, we had to open the window and since it was summer time we had 2 options: 1.to use anti-insects spray in order to avoid being attacked by mosquitoes coming from the wide opened window or 2.to sleep in a room with closed window. ●our stay was not good value for money, quite the opposite.

    old furniture, dirty room, dirty shower and toilet, dirty stains on the walls of the room, apparently no one cleaned the room before we checked in as some leftover food from previous visitors was found in the refrigerator strong audibility, woke up due to the fact that they were just talking behind the wall in another room, I can’t say that this is a place to relax

    What is possible with animals and without additional payment for this service, but taking into account what kind of furniture there is and how dirty it was there, it would be ridiculous to charge an additional cost for a kitten
