There is no mirror in the room and only one bathroom. In the kitchen, there is the stove base but there are no actual burners on top.

What a fantastic find, basic but great location, excellent staff. I will definitely come back. Perfect for female solo travelers.

There was a fixed shower screen, but the bath was small, making it difficult to get in and out for a shower.

Proximity to the old town. The fan in the room.

We couldn't access the wifi at any time. No written information on surrounding areas - related to the lack of wifi.

We never received the code for the entrance door, I sent a message but never got a response. Fortunately, someone from the residents told us because otherwise, we would never have gotten inside 😅

The location

Lots of noise on the street, many stairs in the building, no kitchen utensils, very basic amenities, poor value for money.

I liked that they attended relatively quickly and were aware of our arrival.

I have traveled quite a bit and stayed in many accommodations of this style (we were two people), and I had never experienced anything like this. To start, the photos look much better than reality, at least in my room, both the bathrooms and the place in general. And the worst part is that, despite everything, we paid €100 per night, an excessive price for what they offer. It serves for spending the night and little else, but the stay was bad. Our room had a tiny window that looked like a cave, with no natural light. There was no airflow in the hallways, and opening the window did not help ventilate; the feeling was 40 degrees inside while it was 20 outside, making it completely impossible to ventilate or be comfortable. They did give us a fan, but it made an unpleasant noise, although they ended up changing it. But undoubtedly the worst part was the shared bathroom. When we arrived, it was disgusting, all stained. Since the reviews mentioned that they usually cleaned, I was more at ease thinking it would improve... Big mistake. The next day we returned from the street and found that they had only cleaned superficially: the toilet still had the same shit stain and the shower had the same dirt marks. A lack of hygiene and terrible value for money. I do not recommend it.
