Everything was great, especially the hotel's location and the attitude of the hotel staff. Only during our stay, they were installing sensors and fire alarm buttons, which was annoying due to the sound of the workers' drills (maybe this will have stopped during your stay), but since the hotel's location was great, I wasn't bothered by the noise pollution at all.

Extremely small room, noisy, not clean enough, very little facilities for the price you pay, Shower was blocked, fridge did not work for our whole stay, we complaint and it was not resolved, very basic breakfast, just one type of squash in breakfast and no juice, just whole fruits in the counter and one small plate of cut oranges with no selection at all. Will not recommend it for the money you pay. the only good thing was the location and a staff member at reception EMRF was very hellpful and polite.
