Staff was friendly and very helpful assisting with translation with personal at train station. Unfortunately the noise from the train station is constant during the night.

David

Liked: Staff & service
The staff was very friendly and helpful, the breakfast was good, the pizza was refreshing after an 8 hour train adventure. Bring your ear plugs or noise canceling devices. 80-100 year old windows and doors don’t stop the honking, street noise and train horns & announcements noises all night long.

Nadine

Disliked: Amenities
Upon arrival, I found that the pictures online did not fully match the reality. Fortunately, the owner was gracious and offered me a better room, personally taking the time to show me around, which I appreciated. I had been advised to book transportation through the hotel. While the first ride was pricey, the driver was professional and got me to my destination safely. However, the second transport was a disaster. Despite requesting a private car, I was given an old taxi with a driver who lacked a travel permit. We were stopped repeatedly, and the driver didn’t know the route, constantly asking for directions. In the end, we had to pick up a stranger from the street to guide us to the hotel. It was the worst driving experience I’ve ever had. Advice: Never pay until you receive the service you were promised.
