First, the pros: clean room, incredible breakfast and for me a great location (close to the harbour, the museum and the bus station) and the bed is comfortable. All for a very fair price. The cons: the airport is nearby, so you can definitely hear planes arriving. And the street is just a bit sketchy, not dangerous just really unloved. For me the pros completely outweighed to cons.

Airplane noise, cramped rooms, and an outdated bathroom. The only positive aspect is the central location.

Honestly, this is the first time I've experienced such great disappointment and discomfort This is the first time I've stayed in a room that doesn't have a single chair or a small table on the basic balcony The bed, two single beds joined together on one side, didn't have a single bedside table on the other, and a round table. But the worst of all was the bathroom. I've never seen a smaller shower in my life without a single shelf for the essentials. You had to open the accordion, get out, get the shampoo, and get back in, the same with the shower gel. The hairdryer didn't work. 2 glasses that they had left for us and we used on the first day were not replaced with clean ones, and even though a cleaner came in after 2 days, I'm very sorry. The only good thing was the morning receptionist, who was friendly and polite.
