Room was clean except there was a decent amount of dust build up on the P trap under the sink. Room was a little out dated but no issues with that especially to the cheap price. shower pressure was nice. Beds were very comfortable. lots of cafes and a BWS close by. Would definitely stay again.

One night stopover

Our room was a bit dated but honestly it was great for the price (& we were told by the friendly staff that the hotel accommodation is being upgraded soon). The room was clean, the bed was comfortable and the shower was hot. We also enjoyed our meal in the bistro.
