We need to remember this is a budget hotel, so dont expect much. Rooms are quite small but comes with a jug. Double window which did a good job keeping street noises out. Good heater, tv. Good shower and loo just down the hallway. Small kitchen up stairs.
If you are budget focused, definitely recommend. Good location and secure.

It's on a great location with everything you need for a budget hotel. Kind personnel and everything you need.
It can be bit noisy and the toilets could be maintained a bit better, but all in all definitely worth the money
