This was a nice place to stay. Although being in a room next to the shared bathrooms wasnt great. People slamming the door early in the morning wasnt ideal and taking very long showers. If you are trying to have a sleep in not ideal at all. Carpet in the room was filthy.

Hotel was clearly a former smoking hotel and the rooms still reeked of cigarette smoke. There were no bathrooms in the rooms and you had to go down the hall to get to them, check out was 10 AM, however the rooms locked guests out at 9 AM and people had gone to the bathroom and couldn't get back into their rooms, worse too as reception was not yet open.

Reliable Budget Stay with Great Management

I’ve stayed at this hotel more than five times, and it’s generally a good budget option. The rooms are simple but have the basics—air conditioning, a ceiling fan, bar fridge, tea & coffee facilities and Wi-Fi. The shared bathroom is clean, though a microwave in the room would be a nice addition. The staff are usually friendly wherever I check in, and the manager is truly awesome. I requested a last-minute late check-out, and he was very kind to allow it. Overall, it’s a reliable and affordable place to stay, especially with such accommodating management.

The toilet in the bathroom attached to the room had no water in the cistern and was not refilling the cistern. There was no maintenance available when we reported the issue, so we resorted to removing the cistern cover and filling it by multiple jugfuls. Also there was some distance to get our bags from the carpark upstairs to the room.
