Sober and minimalist hotel but very clean. Well located and inexpensive. The only negative point is the presence of tampon and sanitary pad dispensers in the men's toilets, which is quite ridiculous.

Great location, highly walkable and convenient; simple “spartan” room with a surprisingly nice view. A bit of a a wonky layout made it hard to charge/organize myself, and bed could use an upgrade (made for students, not 40 year olds lol). Staff are friendly and helpful.

Excellent location, price, food options nearby. Surface level clean, but could use a good deep clean. It was perfect for a place to sleep but nothing fancy - feels more hostel-like with quality of mattresses/bedding/towels. Definitely would stay again for a quick turnaround though.
