A disappointing experience in every way: the asking price is simply absurd compared to what was offered.

Truly a pathetic hotel...dirty...outdated...ridiculous room...tiny bed and stained sheets....TV not working...dirty sheets and towels....plus the room was in the basement.....I really do not recommend it....

Problems in the bathroom48 of 2981 in 6 reviews
The room was on the underground floor, maybe this was the reason for many problems - The WiFi did not work, the shower sewer system was all messed up so it was impossible to take a shower, the smell of laundry detergent used for the bedsheets was super strong and chemical and caused headache.
Booking network, May 2026, rated 3/10 by this guest
