I don't know which hotel the other guests were in who are supposed to have stayed here, but my experience here means I can't reflect all the positive reviews.It started when we arrived when a man opened the door to the reception and spit at my feet. I just thought to myself ok... the operator can't help it. Just some idiot. In any case, the first impression here was very negative.My room was already very run down. The furniture is old, the TV is small and there wasn't a single piece of furniture in the bathroom that wasn't broken. The toilet was broken, the sink was cracked, the shower was moldy and had seen better days. You don't really feel comfortable with the facilities here.Overall, the system is probably very noisy. Luckily my roommate turned off his TV around 9 p.m., otherwise I probably wouldn't have slept a wink. This morning I was woken up to the gentle sounds of clinking dishes from the breakfast room.If you need to stay here for a night and don't have any demands, you might be in good hands here if there really is no other alternative. The price of €49 per night including breakfast should have made me prick up my ears... the breakfast is therefore very simple. The choice of fruit was only limited to a single orange. All in all, it's ok if you keep the price in mind.But the staff was polite and nice. The internet isn't fast, but it's enough for a few emails and YouTube videos. Video calls are becoming rather difficult.So my conclusion: I won't be coming back. Even if it is the cheapest hotel or the only hotel with free beds.Addition:However, after confronting the deficiencies, I was given a room in much better condition.

Very poor breakfast, bread reheated from the previous day. Juices are sometimes stale. Sometimes they forget to leave a change of towels. cold in the rooms. Humidity and slow internet access.
