Cons. Just found the overall experience lacking in quality. Staff was unhelpful and unfriendly at times. Water was out for a a whole morning. Pool was dirty and depressing. Food was mediocre...
Pros. Friendly East Eoropean staff.
Cons. The hotel is decrepit, badly maintained, worn out & thread bare. All the bars etc were closed &, apart from breakfast, the place is deserted - no receptionist or any other staff. In short a dump. Stay away.
