Kristina

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Good location, friendly staff, nice price for the old city. Very irritating and inconvenient door lock with an alarm. The interior needs renovation. Bad soundproofing for a hotel facing a noisy street - when I was on the phone in my room with doors and windows closed I could barely hear the caller.
