"Everything was excellent, especially the cleanliness, bedding, friendliness, quietness and location.... However, the shower water was barely warm enough to wash away the days oil and grime... The temperature did not improve during my 10 day stay... In addition, although they have only been open for three months, they should have arranged a drinking water supply (a free one)... For the price, they should be offering a drinking water dispenser.... Also, they are not properly indexed on both...

I got given the wrong locker and ended getting yelled at for it by other guests and the female receptionist before I could translate for them. Good, location wise but not worth the hassle"
