I was a bit reluctant to trust the recommendation that our local partner gave us concerning the Venus Hotel as earlier reviews here in tripadvisor were quite negative. However, as Hotel Venus seemed to be the only middle class priced hotel, I decided to try it at least for one night. On arrival I was positively surprised by the big... More
