Situated in the centre of the city, the staff endeavour to be professional. Prices from our point of view ok. Numerous bars / restaurants etc. just around the corner.
Unfortunately, breakfast is not recommended, at least not for those with low expectations. From the second day on we went to a nearby baker. The shower is so leaky that the bathroom was under water after 1 x shower. In the bathroom mould, no window, door broken. Dangerous neighborhood.

the hotel was situated in a run down area which wasn't terrible, making it a good budget option. We found the room to be clean and serviced daily, with a nice breakfast spread included.
We did notice that the hotel could do with a bit of refurbishing, particularly in the bathroom.
