    “Good place for transit”

    Perfect location near major bus terminals. The room is neat and has a hot water shower. The reception is open 24 hours. We really wanted to try their breakfast, but since we left at 5:30 AM, they couldn't make it for us even though we told them in the message beforehand. What a pity. There are some dirty spots on the blanket as well, but it didn't really bother us.

    “Sort of okay if you need to save money”

    The woman at reception was very helpful but the property is not good. The area is a bit sketchy. When I left there was a person experiencing homelessness outside. I couldn't sleep so well as it was loud in the room. The wind and the sound of animals was so loud I woke up several times. The shower also did not drain properly.
