  : I can't remember anything particularly positive, the room is like most other similar rooms. Although, the main plus of the hotel is a luggage storage, which you can use for 1 eur after check-out. You can need it if you have a plane ticket in the evening, and you want to walk around for another half of the day.
  : Unfortunately there are a lot of negative moments. First, in the description there is no mention that you need to pay an additional tourist fee. It's just not nice, because I don't have to know the local laws. Second, the hotel has an automated check-in and reception is open from 09 to 12, and then from 18 to 21. The problem is that the tourist fee needs to be paid with a check-in, but the system does not accept cash, only cards. And what if you don't have a card or you have a Chinese/Russian payment card? Therefore, if you arrive outside the open hours and you have only cash, then you will have to contact staff. Third, in case of problems with check-in outside the open hours, you need to contact staff through WhatsApp, which is written in the lobby, but the problem is that they either do not answer or react very slowly. And what to do if you don't have a local sim card? Then communication via roaming will cost you very much. Fourth, very thin walls. Several times I heard in detail how the neighbors discussed tomorrow's plans, conflicted and even had sex. And what if you have kids with you? Fifth, the electricity in the room is turned on by a special switch, but sometimes it turns off without a reason. It's especially sad when it turns off at night, in the heat, then the air conditioner turns off and you wake up wet as a mouse.

  : Loved the balcony and the doors to it, i slept with the doors open, like camping in bed. Metro station near, most things at 30 mins distance.
  : Couple of cockroaches that we had to hunt before sleep.

  : there was a vending machine and a kettle available outside the room, there is mercadona just across the street and a subway station near. The staff was really nice and helpful
  : in my room the view was at the wall of another building, the check-in wasn't that intuitive but on the other hand it was done through the machine outside the building, the air conditioning wasn't working right - one moment it was freezing and another one too warm
