    The bed is not that comfortable, but for a night stay it was manageable. There is no fridge in the room, which would have been useful at least during the summer to keep the drinking water cold.

    The hostel receptionist was really nice and helpful. The room was clean and big enough for 2 people. We found free parking in front of the hostel.

    I had to leave the key for the room on the reception every time i left the room. The bed was too soft for me. The price was for two, there wasn't a price offer for one person.

    Comfortable room for a good price not far from the city centre.

    There was no kitchen although it says it has one and when we asked the receptionist he replied that we must go to a restaurant. There is no private parking, however there is an free parking right next to the hostel.

    The woman on the reception was really nice and helpful. Not a bad place overall.

    It was challenging to find a comfortable place for the car during the check-in. The street is narrow, with constant traffic, many parked cars, and private garages. There was so much furniture for the available space in the room - a king size bed, two working desks with chairs, and a big wardrobe, so there had almost no space for us. And additionally, there were some strange stains on the sheets. The noise insulation wasn't so good, and we could hear the teenagers on the street, as well as the other guests.

    Good location - close to the city center, but in quiet neighborhood, and it is relatively easy to find a parking place. It is upstairs, but there is an elevator if you have more luggage. The bed was big, and relatively comfortable. And there is a non-stop market right around the corner. Not bad for the money, if you stay for a night or two.

    You can hear noises from the next room - like the flush, the A/C or similar sounds, some conversations. - I had to change rooms because in Room #311 I could not get internet neither on my phone nor laptop despite the room being next to the router! - Their "Deluxe" room, which cost 60 lv (compared to 55 lv for the regular room) did not have a night lamp or a night stand! The deluxe room does not offer any more convenience than the regular room - only a private fridge, but there is a common fridge in the shared kitchen. - Very cheap furnishings, depressingly impersonal. - Inconveniently small toilet/shower/sink. - The water was out in the afternoon due to ongoing repair work in the vicinity - which was not the hotel's fault but the staff could have put up a sign to warn the visitors! They knew this was going on for some time! - This is a 1-star hotel, very very basic. I think for the same price one could find a 2- or 3-star hotel.

    Exceptional staff!! They are very polite and will go to any lengths to help you be more comfortable! This very basic hotel lives and dies by the value of its staff. I hope they keep these amazing workers! - Great plant kingdom between floors! - it was like a jungle! Kudos to those who maintain these plants!
