Snararen vandrarhem än Hotel.

Personal var oproffsiga och kunde endas turkiska. Hotellet var inte fräsch. Smuts och rök över allt. Även rummet luktade rök. Sängkläderna var inte rena. Personal fortsätter att röka i korridoren trots tillsägelse. Vill även tillägga att det pågick något slags bodelverksamhet på natten. Vilket äcklade mig.
