“If you want to screw up your holiday...stay here”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 January 2012

The room was pretty poor, the bed was broken and dangerous (it was a bunkbed), so we slept on the floor. They have a bar which played till 1:30. The room had an open and dangerous fuse panel for the whole floor (5th floor). Even though we had top floor it was to loud to sleep even with ear plugs. Bloody hand mark in the "ladies" toilet. Kitchen was a disaster with "one" count it, "one" coffee mug. Also zero kitchen towels for those who might like to clean up after themselves. Never go there...ever!
