"Although the location and price are slightly tempting, do not stay here. We stayed in a triple room and there were many problems: -> Room had no hot water -> Washroom was covered in black mold -> Washroom was not cleaned before our arrival -> Washing machine was broken -> Fridge empty but not cleaned and had a pile of mold -> "Breakfast" is a bag of bread and another bag of jam although it wasn't restocked and was only there for one of the days. No refund was given although they did offer us...
