Basic accommodation. If you want something decent and cheap, you can go there.As for my room, it was clean but unsanitary. The room and bathroom were clearly aging. It was dark but I have a feeling that wasn't the case for all the rooms. We felt there was a humidity problem.In the hallway, it sometimes smelled of cigarettes.Contrary to what we could see on Instagram, the breakfast was minimalist. It was (too) sweet cereal or chocolate, slices of white bread, milk, butter, jam, egg. That in itself is good, but the ad promised much more.Pay attention to the peak time of the dryer (3h30 duration).However, there were clean towels every day. The kitchen was very clean and newer, as were the rooms. There are lots of things around: supermarket, bus, metro, restaurants, cafes...So it's a good crossing point but don't expect anything exceptional.

Well, the truth is that it is dilapidated and quite dirty. Thank goodness it's cheap because otherwise they won't even scratch a star. Sheets with stains that cannot be removed from unspeakable events. Facilities to update before reaching total decay.
