This a very simple hotel, with the minimum facilities in the room. It is located very close to the main attraction of the town — the fortress, so if you stop over to see the citadel and its museums, this hotel is the best budget variant.

It is a very good location! It is the only positive. One of the elevator is since the 60's and doesn't seems to run well. Terrible smell along the corridor. Rooms are renovated ( the hotel was built under the communist government) trying to look modern. But the surprise comes: NO HOT WATER!!! Please expedite do your diligence job and remove them from your site!

Simply not good

This hotel needs a renovation. The only good thing is the location. My room was not in good condition, the shower in a state I didn’t even want to use it, so ugly. And mattress so old, I had to use blankets under me as a cushion to be able to lie down. Heavily over prizes for that old rundown.

Nonostante la struttura sia un pó datata, stanno effettuando lavori di ristrutturazione. Le camere sono belle. L'hotel è molto vicino alla "cetate" romana. Camere pulite, letti comodi. Colazione internazionale abbondante. Personale alla reception gentile.
