The staff was really good, very helpful. You can ask them for anything they will do the best to help you.

2/10 Poor

Worst receptionist ever, grumpy old guy who apparently wants sharia law in the hotel. Very unfriendly and inflexible, he should be fired. I recommend anyone to stay away from that place, especially if you have a girlfriend you're not married to.

Not as good as it looks on the website
Very small bathroom, you were unable to sit on the toilet straight as the shower was too close, there was black mould in places in the shower and the bathroom had a bad smell from the drains.

4/10 Fair

Hotel one night stopover
On arrival we were held hostage to a 15 minute tour sale before our key was issued. The small room size was what we expected for the 53Euro price, and the bed was made albeit with very worn out sheets with holes. The bathroom however had the last guests soap in the sink and shower, and bare live electric wires dangling over the basin.
