7.4/10

My stay at the hotel wasn't too bad. The room was in the souterrain with a pool table, a table kicker, and table tennis just one door away. It felt like stepping back to the seventies with unique features like a pole to hang clothes on and a sliding shower door. Despite its basic setup, it was sufficient for my expectations.

6.0/10

The hotel had its ups and downs. I found the rooms to be small, with dirty windows everywhere, and the toilets didn't flush properly. Having to walk up three flights of stairs due to the non-functioning lift was a struggle, especially with my bad hip and blood pressure. On the upside, the rooms were very hot, and the views were limited to a fire exit; overall, it was not a pleasant stay.
