Overpriced hotel

The owner of the hotel is a greedy man who wanted an additional payment for the same room but facing a quiet street so do not expect that your requests will be performed for free. It's a very unfriendly approach to charge for such things.

4/10 Poor

Mark Oliver

Disliked: Room comfort

A bit of uncomfrotable stay.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was very hot, and each time you left the AC would turn off so going back in, the room would smell like mold and would be hot and humid due to there was no air flow without the AC on. The towels and bedding smelled like mildew because of lack of air circulation and the AC being auto turned off.
