The room was clean, spacious and the bed was comfortable. Staff were very friendly and helpful and had a lot of local information. It was great to have a kitchen, which had everything you need, to make your own food. Very easy transport links (bus stop right outside the hotel) and a good location; out of the city but close enough to walk in or catch a short bus ride. Very cheap accommodation, very good value for money - I would highly recommend this hotel.

Liked: Cleanliness
It was okay. The hosts were nice and courteous, the room was clean and the bed was comfy. I think it should be mentioned that there will be loud music/karaoke almost every night as couldn’t sleep until after 11pm most nights, also there’s no glass in the window of the toilet so it’s pretty cold when you need to go, but can’t complain too much as it was very affordable to stay.

Yikes...gross

This is basically a dive bar with hostel-style rooms on the second floor. Lots of loud highway traffic, generally seems to be in disrepair, and the bedspread had obvious stains on it (see photo). Definitely stay away.
