Perfect Budget stay.

With in walking distance of the castle, old town, and just about everything else. Clean, well maintained, and lovely rooms. The kitchen is beautiful but with 2 bakeries within a block, and multiple cheap eats, you may not get around to using it.

nesvarus kambariai

Apsistojome vienai nakciai, taciau į akis krito nesvarus kambariai, po lovomis radome kruvas smelio, papieriniu serveteliu. Kambariai tvarkomi labai prastai. Gerai, kad patalyne kvepejo skalbimo milteliais, nes nebuvo jauku.
