8.8/10 Excellent! (3,467 reviews)
"The hotel is not bad. The room we stayed in (103) needs some renovation - furniture, walls, ceiling… And besides it’s on the first floor - noises from the street and rooms below. The plumbing is very noisy too (old system, probably). Staff polite and friendly. Breakfast is okay/good."
