Staff were very friendly and helpful. The included breakfast was poor and disappointing;, just one boiled egg and some ham , cheese , bread and olives plus condiments. Room and bathroom in general were ok. Safe was not very safe. Hallways were undergoing renovation so at times looked like a building site and slight issue with the plumbing one morning with dirty water coming through the taps and toilet. ![Decent twin room](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/E1F91CCC6A409431CECEB8BBD52DA212AFE323691740154552815.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Poor breakfast ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6D036D5A609167E9C191C8FEE4DC5649DFB283161740154552695.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Building works :-(](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/03610DBFB928060566ABF89586E5AC9BD4F14C851740154552820.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Portable Safe, not secured .](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/CFD2F58817E2AE4C5D14BE862C3E8C230A7A4E471740154552586.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jordan Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Merve 8 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities War alles gut bis auf das einchecken.
