It’s an older place, but large room. Pretty good price compared to other hotel. About 10 minute walk to the subway. takes about 20 to 30 minutes to get to City center from this hotel. It’s only about 10 or 15 minute ride to the airport terminal one.

Close to the airport. Taxi was 21 Euro ($25) from airport. A bit pricey for the type of accommodations. Was quiet in our building. Beds were comfortable. Clean! Breakfast was a nice touch--just enough. Stayed here for a cruise next day. Taxi to cruise terminal $43

I liked the price (affordable), staff (very kind I arrived 3 am and instead of giving my the shared room which I booked they gave me a single room so I did not disturb the other guests), close to public transport to the city centre I did not like the breakfast. 1 option of yogurt: strawberry, croissant taste like those you are given in the hospital, coffe machine quite basic, 1-2 cereals option do not remember.
