Położenie, w samym centrum.

Pokój bez okna, grzyb na ścianie. A starczy polepszyć wentylację.

"It's worth the money if you want to be in the city center, but the owners aren't particularly nice"

8.0

In the city's tourist district, in a convenient location. Comfortable bed, clean shared bathroom, and a hair dryer is provided.

We were given the wrong room number. We arrived at 11:00 p.m. and tried to get into a room where someone else was already staying—because, according to the instructions, that was supposed to be our room. After we clarified in a message that the room was occupied, they simply replied with the number that was actually ours—without an apology for the inconvenience or any further explanation. It was a bit rude and an unpleasant situation.

"An option with local character"

9.0

Its location in the centre is good. The kitchen enables eating in. It has character.

I have used this hotel several times and because there is no reception you have to get a key from a key safe outside by the entrance. The number for this is sometimes sent very close to arrival time, leaving a feeling of uncertainty. On the last occasion there were no towels provided.

O alojamento foi anunciado como um quarto, mas a experiência ficou muito aquém do esperado. O quarto não tinha janela, o que não estava claramente indicado, tornando o espaço pouco ventilado e desconfortável. Além disso, à chegada não havia papel higiénico nem toalhas disponíveis, elementos básicos que se esperam num alojamento. Recomendo ao anfitrião maior transparência na descrição e melhores condições mínimas para os hóspedes.

Месторасположение хостела просто чудесное и невероятно красивое.

Когда зашли с подругой в комнату мы ужаснулись увиденным . В комнате НЕ БЫЛО окон. Запах тухлый. Пахло старьем. Такое впечатление , что замуровали. Проветрить невозможно. Среди ночи просыпалась, так как было тяжело дышать. На следующий день специально купили фрукты и оставили кожуру в комнате, чтоб как то изменить тухлый запах . Я считаю, что об этом нужно предупреждать гостей. Потому что люди приезжают разные как физически здоровые , так и не очень, и задыхаться в комнате ну такое себе мероприятие. В комнате был вентилятор, который охлаждал воздух, но минус его был в том , что при работе был такой звук , как будто включили бетономешалку. Уснуть я не могла. Включала только перед сном . Первый раз в жизни пишу плохой отзыв. Просто реально не удержалась. Я понимаю, что это недорогой отель, вопросов нет. Но чтоб не было окон.......Жесть.... Теперь опишу плюсы отеля: - расположение суперовое , просто люкс. - да и в ванной комнате и кухне было чисто.. Спасибо за внимание...
