The hotel is very old, and the rooms are outdated, although they were clean. The location is good . However, there were no amenities or in-room services provided, which was disappointing . The biggest issue was the bed. The mattress was very firm and uncomfortable. I woke up with back pain and didn’t sleep well at all. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t stay here again.If comfort is important to you, you may want to consider this before booking. Also, don’t be fooled by the hotel photos—they are not an accurate representation of the actual property.

From the time of communism, as well as the furniture, the museum is in a top location
