Nice people, but hotel needs renovation

The hotel is rather old and needs investments. The staff is great and very helpful. Also not very eco-friendly.

Overall was good, but still not sure how their payment system works. Because I was charged a unreasonable transactions for deposit, and still waiting for their credit for that, it is later than other hotels
