La camera non è molto grande. Gli interni hanno un cattivo odore di vecchio. Non c'è ascensore anche il titolare si è prestato ad aiutarci. Il bagno è separato in due ambienti zona wc piccolissimo e zona lavabo/doccia abbastanza ccomodo. Le pulizie lasciavano desiderare.

Great stay

I only stayed one night, but was very comfortable. Great place to stay, very central and staff were friendly and helpful. There is no elevator, so if you have an accessibility issue I would not recommend this location, but other than that everything was fantastic.
