Reviews based on Location
Excellent location, but the rooms are a bit tired. We had to bring heavy suitcases to 2nd floor because the lift was out of order and no one offered to help. The shower was not properly cleaned, and though we pointed that out, there was no change. There was a vacuum cleaner and a pile of dirty linen abandoned in the corridor. The air-conditioning didn't work, and no one came to fix it. On the plus side, the mattress was very comfortable. Having said all that, I will probably stay there again because of the location.
We stayed at the hotel 7/8 for one night: great location- unfortunately that all I would say about this place, it hasn’t changed since communist days The lift didn’t work and no no offered to help us with the cases up to 4th floor. The shower was dirty hair in the drain and although we asked to be cleaned, it wasn’t. AC not working. Reported hair and AC to reception made no difference. The breakfast was inadequate. Looked dreadful the hard boiled egg looked the safest thing to eat. Coffee looked and tasted like Tar! A cheap overnight stay that’s about it!
