Love this place
Very small room, staircase is steep like a ladder, charming, nice staff, right in the mix, good price. I love this hotel, I've stayed there before and liked it very much. I'll stay there again in the future.

Great central hotel
The hotel is very close to the train station and perfectly placed for getting round the city easily on foot. I stayed in a double room which was small, but very clean and comfortable. The stairs up to the room are very steep and narrow, so not suitable for anyone with mobility issues. The only downside to my stay was the noise from the karaoke bar opposite. The bar is open until 3am and unfortunately there is no soundproofing on the windows. I would definitely stay there again - I would just remember to take ear plugs!

Okay but not staying again
Staying in this hotel was an okay experience. The only issue that I had was that the stairs leading to the higher floors were too steep. This can pose as a safety hazard and it was difficult to carry luggage up them.
The place is close to the central station and lots of cool places outside that you can visit. There is a good chinese restaurant and a great breakfast place near the hotel.

Nice single room, clean and comfy bed. Liked that there was a quiet bar downstairs where you could socialise. Friendly helpful staff.
Little noisy in the early hours of the morning but that is to be expected in the red light district so not a problem. Fab location near everything.

Frank gave us good service even helps carry our bags up three floors of very small steps. The hotel badly needs an elevator.
