Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Staff was very good and very cooperative.
Negative: Hotel without lift, there is no access for Taxi, so you have to pull your bags across the stone uneven road in opposite side and located between 2 tram stations need 5 minutes walking, Hotel was old and we face leakage from the ceiling during the rain time also the breakfast was very limited and same repeated everyday.
