This is nothing like the pictures they show you. Felt like we stayed in a building that had been abandoned 20 years ago and somebody is passing it off as a place to stay! Arrived and the young man on the desk seemed to be completely spaced out. Paid in cash. The rooms smelt old and musty with uneven floors, damaged curtains and nails sticking out of the walls. The bed was like hard block of concrete and my pillow felt like it was filled with tiny stones...literally! Room was freezing and hardcore party music was blaring out all evening until 3.30am with people shouting and slamming doors in the corridors. When we went down in the morning to grab a coffee from a nearby cafe another young man was passed out on the desk. We had planned to stay another night but quickly cancelled this and checked into a much nicer hostel around the corner which was a million times better! 

Worst nights sleep ever!

I'm used to staying in very basic accommodation but this is honestly the worst place I've ever stayed. Hotel is hard to find and when arriving in the reception there is no indication you are even in a reception at all - looks like the downstairs entry to a block of flats. Nobody there. Eventually a teenage boy who spoke no English came out to see us who looked like he had just woken up out the back, and eventually gave us keys to a room and took our money. Found the room up some grotty stairs, door handle fell off the room when trying to get in. Room itself was dirty, paint peeling off, uneven floor boards all coming up, nails sticking out of the walls. Beds were literally like a hard block of wood. Bathroom looked derelict. Boy came up and once realising the door had broken he moved us rooms, had high hopes! But no, exactly the same if not worse. Had to stay the night as we had a tour booked in the morning but had zero sleep as loud music played till 3.30am with people shouting in the corridors. Couldn't wait to escape in the morning. Looks nothing like pictures, looks like it closed down 10 years ago and is now being run by teenagers! Honestly avoid, much better hostels in the area we eventually stayed in that were lovely clean and safe.

Avoid...!

This hotel is nothing like the pictures make it out to be! I'm generally not fussy about hotels but this place was hugely disappointing. First off, they had agreed to arrange a pick up service from the airport, which never happened. Not a huge problem as there are taxis at the airport but we wasted time waiting around and getting hassled to jump in someone's car for no reason. When we arrived at the hotel, there was no one on reception, but a young guy came out about 5 minutes later. I'm not sure if he was still half asleep or high but he spent the whole time with us rubbing his face, holding his face in his hands and sighing lots... weird. I couldn't see a restaurant in his hotel?! But no one showed us anything so maybe it was around a corner we didn't look for. When we got to our room our door wouldn't open, so I nudged it a couple of times, and the lock flew off the door frame... I'm a small female who was exhausted from an overnight flight so if I could break the door down it made me feel pretty unsafe! (PS, I do feel terrible about breaking a door as they didn't ask me to pay for it or anything!) We were shown to a different room luckily. This room had no TV as the listing says. There were only 2 pillows for 3 people, we asked for one more but it never came so I had to use my coat. The pillows we did have were made with what felt like beans, the beds were really uncomfortable and the room was freezing cold. More importantly though, someone somewhere (a club?!) played really loud music until 3.30am so none of us got any sleep. Luckily we were on a tour after this, and we were going to come back for our last night but ended up cancelling and booking elsewhere. I wouldn't recommend this place at all, I guess the standards are lower here but feel you could get better for your money!
