  : Good location, friendly and helpful staff who gave us some useful recommendations of travel.
  : The room was a bit crowded for 3 people. The mattress was not too clean , we can see some dirt on it. The shower should add a small shelf to hold the shampoo and shower gel.

Very Poor

  : As much as I would like to state a positive, there was nothing in particular. The room wasnt filthy which is what I would expect anyways and thats about the only good thing I have to say.
  : As for the negatives, where do I even begin to start? Our experience at this hotel was terrible. There was no sound insulation at all so people loudly talking in the room above us and slamming doors kept us up most of the night. The heating didnt seem to work either and there was a draft from the window so the room was cold. We were awoken at 8am by very loud building work which was directly below our room. Constant drilling, shouting, loud music and stomping boots. We were not informed that there was any construction going on in the hotel, let alone in the room directly below ours. It continued until we left the hotel at around midday. We were booked in for a 2 night stay but didnt complete this as our stay so far had been sub par. We were not informed until the day before that we would need to bring either 50 or 100 in cash but it was unclear which and so this was a source of stress and confusion. On top of this, we were almost refused entry into the hotel. It had not been made clear that the check in time was until 9pm and at quarter to nine or so we received a phone call and the person on the other end of the phone was trying to convince us to just come the next day despite us having nowhere to sleep AND having already paid to sleep there. I managed to convince them via the phone to let us in and of course when we got there it was unpleasant as stated. The room was small as was the bed and not at all worth the money we paid. If I were you I would avoid staying here.
