Doors locked at check, 3 phone numbers to try, third I got a response, from a lady driving who said she would contact reception. Lady came then to let us in. Cobwebs in room. Not so cheap, but cheerful and convenient.

Liked: Cleanliness
The property was very clean and beds were quite comfy. Very easy to get into the city centre with direct buses nearby. The only complaint was in our room the frame of the bed looked half finished and we were unable to find a switch for the side lamps.

After reading some mixed reviews of this place my expectations were quite low but I have to say we were pleasantly surprised. The room was quite nice, with high ceilings and plenty of natural light that made it feel spacious. The neighborhood was convenient and safe and overall we were really happy with our stay.

Amazing Find
Can’t fault this place, absolutely immaculate. Looks as if it’s going through some building works so don’t let the scaffolding put you off. Lady very friendly at check in and explained everything. Hotel not far from City centre on major bus route or short taxi journey

It was clean and comfortable, but I had trouble using the free Wi-Fi, even though it said it was available.
