I chose this Hotel after comparing the review of it and some other more expensive hotels on Expedia and another review site, I find this hotel gets bad reviews mostly because of its location. I didn’t mind some walking so I chose it.
Upon arrival I found the room assigned had problem with AC, the front desk apologized and sent us to another room, which looked old but was cleaned thoroughly. The new room was supposed to be noisier than the street facing old one since it’s nearer to the railroad, but I didn’t feel any noise. The bed is stiffer than higher end hotels, but still comfortable.
The hotel has room numbers printed on the floor and needs to have a small stick inserted in a hole near the door to have most electricity. I thought this was backward until I went to a major hotel brand in a different, a 4-star modern upscale venue that also had room number printed on the floor. However the bad thing about the stick is that a customer can take it off the keychain and forget to pull it out. That maybe was what happened to my first room with broken AC since it has prob. been working in bad conditions for a long time without the hotel knowing.
The breakfast cost 5 euros per person so I didn’t expect much and. But it turned out to be very good, on par with the ones costing 12 euros each in my Italy trip.
The location as I expected was bad, it’s about 18 minutes walk to the center of town. Surround places look quite less well maintained and seem not safe at night.
