Отель на одну ночь - не более!

Плюс только в том что отель находится рядом со станцией ЖД. В отеле было не чисто. На кровати темные женские волосы. Ночью громко лаяли собаки, плохо спали! Хороший напор в душе, горячая вода.

Good location but Hotel is very poorly maintained

The only thing good for this hotel is the location. The hotel is very old and run down. Poorly maintained. The wall in the bedroom is peeling off and moldy smell.

Convenient for all transport.

Having stayed at this place a number of times I knew it was going to offer what I needed, a clean place with a comfortable bed since I intended to be out with friends most of the daytime. I got what I wanted! No wardrobe in the room meant that clothing had, either to be left on a table, or hung on pegs on the wall. That is manageable! I found that the hot water system did not operate when I first arrived but management were very quick to rectify that problem.
