A Hotel with a quite spectacular decoration that automatically steals your attention (see attached), but...it disappears in a few minutes, because: - by the tremendous lack of hygiene throughout the space; - towels in rooms completely grimy and smelly, once white, now are brown; - plates and mugs very dirty, both in the room and at Breakfast (see attached); - cockroaches in the room; - there is no mini-fridge in the room; - very claustrophobic space; - unfriendly staff with little desire to work, shortening breakfast time by 30min so they do not have to serve the guests...; - varied breakfast, but very low quality (spoiled fruit, burnt pancakes ...) - lack of physical separation between the bedroom and the toilet (for someone looking for privacy, this hotel isn't indicated); - bad Wi-Fi, too slow connection; - price is totally out of place for the quality offered. In short, completely not recommended. Totally overpriced. Being there, you can tell this space was once very beautiful, but that is now degraded with lack of pride, care and maintenance.
