Fairly clean accommodation, very excellent staff who are on night shift who were very helpful. Newly renovated, spotless unit with separate beds, the terrace, for example. Paid £ 25. Absolutely perfect and fantastic location not very far from a Roman triumphal column.

The food at the restaurant was great. Actually, the room was well-organised on the 4th level, it also had wake-up service. The location was excellant and best possible, specially it was near a tram station which was useful. I was surprised at nearby Pasha Cafe & Pub, they had some goodies, drinks.
