cramped roomdifferent layout
The room I was assigned differed greatly from what I booked. The pictures showed a much larger space, a different layout , and a window in another location. I ended up in a cramped little room that was not worth the price paid. I have visited before and booked more expensive stays expecting comfort, but this disappointed me.

the location was ideal , situated right next to the main square.
I was given a room different from what i booked . The pictures showed a much bigger space with a different layout , including a window in a different place. i got a small room , not worth the price , and the terrace had very few seating areas. the sewage stink made it impossible to sit there for long once.
