Review by hotel critic
Nestled conveniently near a metro station, this hotel offers a solid balance of accessibility and homely comfort. The double room, while not overly modern, is spacious enough for a restful stay between city explorations. It features a private toilet and a small balcony, enhancing the experience for those who enjoy fresh air. The kitchen was well-equipped with essential cookware and utensils, making it easy to prepare meals. The presence of a substantial refrigerator is a plus for longer stays. the shared kitchen was notably clean, reflecting the hotel's attention to housekeeping. Despite the hotel's more basic decor, I found it to be a pragmatically wise choice, especially for budget-conscious travellers. The nearby restaurants and supermarkets add to the convenience of the location. While there are language barriers, helpful staff and a friendly atmosphere make for an enjoyable visit. This place represents great value without compromising on comfort.
