Horrible hotel, very dirty rooms. No reception or working WIFI. Doors don't even have a lock, all you can lock is the door knob and even a 12 year old could pop it open. They won't give you a refund if you are unhappy or feel safe in the room. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE!

What to say? This is an older property with a great location on the river. I very much enjoyed sitting on the balcony watching and listening to the river. The room was clean with no odor. I slept really well in the room. When I booked the room, I was looking for inexpensive accommodation for just one night. The property is very dated and in bad condition inside the rooms and the property overall. It is a nice location but it needs a total makeover. If you book this property, don’t expect much.
