The rooms and facilities were in poor condition. It’s a good option as a transit hotel but not ideal for leisure stays. However, the staff provided excellent customer care, compensating for the shortcomings.

Staff were very friendly & helpful. Although I would suggest they have more than 1 member of staff on at night time. Room, although outdated, was clean enough. Beds were uncomfortable and the noise of the doors opening/closing was a bit to much. But it’s a nice quirky little hidden gem.
