The room is very basic, good for one night but you can feel that the establishment is aging a bit

The bed was terrible, super uncomfortable and noisy. Didn't sleep a second. And super expensive for what you get

Communal areas didn't feel that clean, especially the male block

Unfortunately, our stay resulted in a financial loss. Somehow, our personal data appears to have been compromised, and we ended up paying for the accommodation twice. We were pressured to make a payment via WhatsApp under the threat that our reservation would be cancelled, and then, a few days later, Booking.com charged us the exact same amount again. We are extremely disappointed and saddened by this experience.

Convenient and clear instructions for arriving after office hours. Friendly staff
