Walking distance to the beach(15min walk). Close to the supermarket so you no need to walk so far after buying your groceries. Just outside a tram stop. Remember to bring your own utensils and a lighter as there were time there was only one spoon or fork or there was no lighter to start the stove. Other than that it was a pleasant and enjoyable stay ##### Marcus Stayed 27 nights in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Greg May 1, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### F1 Great spot central to city ##### Greg Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2020 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveler Feb 10, 2020 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Everything in room old, worn out. On bed impossible to move from one s ide to another, might be broken. Window stuffed by constructions of or from steel nothing seen and no air. Besides, i asked to have my bed in female room for two and got promise ,but I end up with young German guy in little room, who half of night went there forth and his friends. I never sow such a disgusting situation , no place to change clothes. So stay was worst ever. ##### Verified traveler Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Simon Feb 4, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great bunch of travellers!
