“I and my husband had a great pleasure to stay in this hotel-hostel. Our room for 2 persons was very clean, warm with a shower and a toilet and Wi-Fi. The key point is the hotel is very close to the Railway Station, to the shop and to the main street with bars and restaurants. The staff is very kind and helpful!”
