Very basic room. Went during winter. Extra blanket would’ve been nice. Nothing special. Wouldn’t stay here long but 1 night was ok. Location was very central. Super close to the train station and trams.

Value for money. Had to balance heat or open the double glazed window and deal with street noise. Otherwise it was suitable for what I needed

Reasonably priced for budget accommodation. Friendly and helpful staff during the day. Basic maintenance needed to fix broken fittings (power point, heat pump) which they tried to do while there with limited success. Central location is great. Our room had its own bathroom. Wouldn’t want to use the shared facilities as not very clean. Upstairs shared kitchen and laundry facilities were good but steep stairs and leaky roof were concerns. Generally okay for a night or so.

Perfect location and ideal for anyone on a budget just be mindful that there is no air con and the rooms get very very hot! They did provide fans but they were not great
