Kristina

Liked: Cleanliness
On arrival they tried to charge me the full amount when I had already paid half as a deposit. Not a great start. Room was very small and a little tired but clean. Bathroom very clean. Bed was comfy but pillows were thin and very firm. Not a great night’s sleep thanks to whining of an extractor fan somewhere in the hotel that went on all night and very thin curtains which meant an early wake up. Great location though.
