Good location, rooms needs to be cleaned
The room is smaller than the ones the picture, there was a stinky smell coming from the bathroom but it was manageable, the beds are a bit high from the ground. we got a room with no view but we enjoyed our stay only because the location is perfect

Great hotel in great location, just change sheets!
The Ukrainian receptionist was amazing, super helpful and welcoming.
The room was quite dirty, dust in the shower, hairs on the bedsheets, once replaced it was a great stay
