The place was perfect for my goal: walking distance to the Forum. Clean bed, hot water, historical building, high ceillings, different from other places check-in method. This place has a character.
Despite arriving late and checking out earlier than usually expected from guests hours the staff ladies made it work for me smoothly.
Thank you!

Price fair - interior outdated yet serviceable - very clean, only one chair available in room for two persons - double bed set-up against side wall, making fixed bed lighting off set.
Loud music carrying up from ground floor 'Gaming Lounge' function room every evening - persistent noise nuisance until midnight first night and then until 2 a.m. the following night - with revellers then brawling into street for a full hour afterwards. Very unpleasant experience. Would not recommend for families as language was offensive and behaviour aggressive.

This place is good for someone who doesn't want to sleep at night. It was impossible to sleep anything. This place is a hotel & bar. From 9pm till next morning 7am there was a loud music.
If people want to have a quiet lovely night definitely do not go to this place!
Also, the Hotel doesn't have own carpark. You have to find on street.
