  : State and quality of the rooms is well up to par. The hotel as such is near the highway and not too far from the city center (roughly 2km). There is a tiny "shop" right next to the reception, with drinks and snacks, with quite a variety too.
  : - Check in took quite long, the gentleman responsible was not yet fully trained apparently?* Having to wait that long with 2 tired minors, after over 6 hours travelling isn't great. - The sleeping couch has some nasty gaps and metal rails right at the side - which one could easily get stuck in, whilst getting in or out of bed. I "fixed" it by stuffing a pillow into the gap, so both the metal rails were covered and most of the gap was filled. - The sheet on the sleeping couch must have been there for ages, wrinkled as it was. I suppose there is a decent cover over it, when in use as a couch, but I do not want to think too deeply about people having sat on this couch and passing gas (to put it nicely). I'd like to propose using clean sheets, when it will be used as a bed, instead of leaving the old sheet on. - The hair dryer might need some thorough cleaning - some unpleasant looking grey stuff around the connection - Hotel surroundings (Next to the entrance, bushes around the parking lots) might need some regular cleaning / inspection, apparantly some guests are unable to use a waste bin or ashtray correctly, leaving a bit of an untidy impression. * The night after I saw the same happening again: a rather long queue of people (partially with small kids) waiting to check in.

  : It was quiet clean.
  : Whilst I was booking it was written that I will get a room with 3 twin beds, and we barely had 2 single beds and 1 sofa which could be a bed at the same time.Therefore, the window was locked and the air conditioning didn't work.
