Despite my online booking in place, the hotel offers clean rooms with quality white bed linen, comfortable beds, the option to prepare your own meals on a stove, hot showers available throughout the day, and quiet hours starting at 22H00. On the downside, there were occasional water leaks from the roof and the kettle didn't work reliably, with intermittent issues with sockets, although these occurrences are uncommon in most places.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were comfortable but in poor condition, and it was a bit challenging sharing one double bed with my wife and two kids. On the bright side, the staff members were friendly and welcoming, but there were some issues with smokers in the reception area. The location was central and close to shops, although the surrounding environment was a bit noisy and problematic.
