Overall a few comments, they need to replace the mattress ASAP (at least the one in our room stains were too big to keep the mattress from my point of view..) the room needs to be vacuumed ours it wasn’t, if you are tall forget about the bathroom if you sit in the toilet your knees are inside the shower it is very tiny, they also need to offer more than one pillow, more lighting in the room. For the price it’s ok just some inconveniences that can be easily addressed. Location was really close to the train station and made moving around easy, and points for them having umbrellas available since it was raining.

Not worth the money

Good location, clean. But The room was very tiny. It was supposed to be a business room, but you could pull the chair away from the desk and sit on it as the bed is so close. The desk is so narrow that the laptop doesn't fit on it. No Aircon, the fan hardly works. The bathroom is so small your feet are in the shower when you are on the toilet.
