Great astics old looked old school. Very clean, beds a little hard. Shared bathroom for all rooms. Showers where amazing nice and hot. Downside heater/aircon did not work asked bar staff if they could look at this they never showed up, NIL heating for the night. Breakfast included was a litle kitchenette with out of date bread in the fridge.
Hallway with all bedrooms off.
