Adequate for needs
It was lovely and quiet. A cheap room with all you need. I liked the community area and wasn't aware I could cook so that was a bonus for next time. Squeaky floors but an old building. It suited me fine and location was close to what I want

Very convenient location, good, safe and handy to public transport. I'll stay again.
Walls are thin and snoring in another room was bad. No windows in my room was not good, but overall it was a great place to stay.

I think the accommodation should be called hostel and not hotel, for that's what it appears to be. No complaint, just a comment.

Floors and bedding stained. Hand towel and face cloth would have been good. Visible piping was loud. A couple more pillows would have been more comfy. It was an ok place to stay. Just needs some TLC

Very budget, in need of repairs
Location within the city is great however, the whole place is a bit dilapidated. So many holes in the walls, not surprising because they are so thin, could hear every conversation in the room next door. And a little bizarre to have a shower just in the corner of the bedroom, very strange layout. But for a cheap place to sleep for the night it does the job

False advertising, unfinished rooms for rent, booked a room with windows but was given a room with no windows, no ceiling, and full of service pipes. Horrible.
