When you enter the hotel a small, basic wooden reception in a small hall welcomes the visitor. For change of cash you must wait for the cashier, who might be one floor up at the restaurant. The restaurant doesn´t deserve a star, but is okay and saves you from starvation.
To get to your room you must use the stairway, for the elevator is often out of order. The problem is that each floor is closed behind a fence and you need the concierge to get higher than the restaurant floor.
The room I had was at the back of the hotel in a corner. A bouble bed with muscito net dominates the room, not much place for other things.
The bathroom is comfortable with a shower (hot water available) and a toilet with view across the street. The area is not so poshy and in the evening you can enjoy the loud music of the bars. No radio needed!
