Kompose Boutique Hotel
"It seems that admistration renovates hotel rooms on the flight. The walls in our room were not fished, had some holes and cracks. The electric wires were hanging along the walls (not covered). One glass sliding door for bathroom and toilette both is, at least, funny. The breakfast was very good."
