Metropol by Carris

We had a great apartment with a double hob, but there was no cutlery, cookware, or plates, so bring your own. The hotel is lovely, the staff helpful, and the city walls are just a five-minute walk away. Parking costs extra and spaces are limited, so book ahead. That's understandable given the location just outside the city.

The view from the room was of the train lines, and there were marks all over the walls. The bed wasn't very comfortable, the curtains were broken, and the apartment didn't have a rubbish bin anywhere. I had to buzz reception every time I wanted to get in. There were no bathroom extras like shampoo or body wash. It's a bit better than sleeping outside, but not by much. Do yourself a favour and look elsewhere in this fabulous city.

The room had very basic amenities for the price, and the staff weren't especially helpful or welcoming. I wouldn't recommend it.

Clean and low cost, and convenient for a one-night stay. The reception and cafeteria service were nice.
