The only good thing is the location. Old rooms, even the lift buttons are old and hanging down, sometimes u can’t even press properly, all grounds are squeaking, noisy rooms, hot water was running after waiting almost 5-6 minutes and boiling, impossible to find a perfect balance. Tap water was splashing all around from the sink because of uneven pressure. I asked the receptionist for a wake up call at 06:30 sharp and didn’t call get the call.
