Really nice staff. Beautiful view from the seventh floor. My room had several lightbulbs out and outlets not working. Also, the corridor outside was pretty dark. Other than that, it was clean and comfortable, and I would stay again.

Have realistic expectations about a hotel this cheap. The place is very old and run down, which you will notice right away. But it's in a fantastic location with everything you need within walking distance. It's also cheap. I have had good experiences here but don't expect a very clean and modern hotel.
