The hotel was like a blast from the late 1990s in terms of technology, with tiny old TVs, no charging ports, and no electric adapters.

The hotel rooms were very spacious for a European city, which was fantastic, offering a view of the beautiful Orthodox Church outside our window. However, the lack of air conditioning was a downside, only available upon request. The service was welcoming and accommodating, but some staff members were unhelpful. The location was convenient for transportation but not in the heart of the city, requiring taxis or public transport for access to other areas. The dining options were good quality but a bit pricey. Overall, a comfortable stay with some minor drawbacks.
