    Keep away if you can somehow afford it!

    Central location, cheap residence.

    Grubby and dirty (!) rooms, mould in the shower, most appliances (lamps, TV sets, radiator) defective, some rooms very cold in winter, paper-thin walls, extremely frugal breakfast, poorly cooperative hosts. Worst hotel we have ever been to (even in that price category).

    Location. My children like double decked beds so they can climb up and down.

    Narrow stairs, swinging stair handles, Windows swing open ( neither open bigger nor close at all), only fixed by one nail. We were worried they might full down. The young lady staff was not friendly. The beds were too soft as they put two mattress on the lower deck beds, Too expensive as compared its facility.

    Budget hotel does what it says it does.

    Friendly staff, very decent for what you pay, no complaints with security or location, 24 hour reception, shower was pretty decent and bathroom in general pretty hygienic.

    Stairs are a little crazy, beds were not too comfortable in truth and were also bunk beds which made a right noise every time you moved.
