Pretty far away from city center. Bus connection is good, but will take you at least half an hour to get there (plus some waiting time), and buses are often very crowded, so pretty uncomfortable if you are with luggage.
Room had a very inefficient design, no desk, a water kettle that could only be plugged into the same power outlet of the fridge, not even a shelf in the shower to put your soap bottles, dirty and worn out shades.
The worst: big windows (with pretty dismal view) and no way to block light. Only transparent white shades. How is someone expected to sleep this way?
The design of the hotel makes it cumbersome to move, expecially when you arrive with your luggage. You have to go up and down several flights of stairs, as some rooms are in an adjacent building.
Breakfast is bad: little on offer, not very good. Only one staff, who was way too little. Had to wait for plates because the were being washed.
Would not recommend this place, unless you are on a tight budget and you find a very good offer. In that case, I guess it's acceptable.
Considering it a 4 star is a pretty good joke.
