Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very good value for money! Super friendly staff and nice comfy room. Only con is that because it's a budget accomodation, be prepared to climb up stairs! They have a few floors in the property. Also because it's budget, there is no shower cap or toothbrush provided. Overall, nice experience staying there. Definitely recommended :)
