I
like
this
place,
but
it's
pretty
bad.
That
needs
some
explaining:
first
and
foremost,
I
like
it
for
the
big
rooms,
high
ceilings
and
an
unfathomable
charm.
The
charm
of
this
place
is
unfathomable
because
it's
not
carefully
constructed,
but
rather
the
effect
of
the
history
of
the
place
being
open
for
all
to
see.
The
ceilings
are
high
and
the
rooms
big
because
the
building
dates
back
more
than
100
years,
likewise
the
marble
stairwell
and
iron
balustrades
hark
to
that
era.
Then
the
ancient
telephones
and
cheap
curtains
remind
you
of
the
socialist
past.
Pretty
much
everything
else
is
reminiscent
of
a
cheap
refurbishment
20
years
ago,
and
everything
since
being
done
on
a
limited
budget,
without
too
much
care
or
attention
for
the
overall
effect.
The
bathroom
fittings
are
hilariously
dated.
As
a
taller
guy
I
had
to
sit
in
the
bath
for
my
morning
shower
(it's
hung
level
with
my
chest).
There's
no
air
conditioning
and
the
furniture
is
solid
but
dated.
The
armchair
looks
like
something
out
of
a
nice
old-people's
home.
And
yet,
for
all
this,
I
like
the
really
big
room
and
the
amazingly
high
ceilings.
The
room
is
very
clean
and
without
any
cleaning
or
maintenance
issues.
The
reception
staff
are
nice
and
there
were
no
problems
checking
in
or
out.
The
breakfast
was
the
worst
I
ever
had
in
a
hotel
that
calls
itself
4-star,
anywhere.
Stale
bread
rolls
but
the
sliced
bread
was
ok.
The
butter
was
hidden
amongst
the
supermarket
spreads
and
slice
cheese
and
ham.
I
had
a
quick
look
at
the
eggs
and
quickly
looked
away.
The
orange
juice,
instead
of
being
watered
down,
was
more
like
water
that
had
a
little
orange
juice
added.
The
staff
were
joking
among
themselves
more
than
serving
customers.
This
place
badly
needs
a
proper
refurbishment.
I
don't
know
why
they
think
it's
4-star,
it's
not.
The
breakfast
staff
need
some
training
and
supervision.
The
breakfast
needs
an
overhaul.
The
telephone
is
hilarious,
as
is
the
bathroom.
The
ceilings
are
high,
the
rooms
are
big
and
clean,
there's
a
door
to
the
next
room
I
can
hear
the
neighbours
through.
It's
bad,
but
I
like
it.
