Stayed 1 night in December 2018

I do not reccommend..Carpet is smelly, room smelly.. Not even has a toilet tissue paper.. ”

Bad accomodation. Smelly room, dirty bed sheet..No toilet paper..What else? I can’t even list all the cons here. The only pros is nice breakfast..With fresh fruits and tasty english breakfast.
