It’s a budget-friendly place to stay with a convenient location and public transportation within walking distance. However, in terms of cleanliness, I requested a bedsheet and towel change for four consecutive nights, and although I was told it would be done, it never was.

I opted for a personal room, small (as expected, and all I needed!) and very comfortable! Clean shared kitchen, bathroom and lounge area. Coffee and tea were provided which was perfect as I arrived late after most shops were closed. I will definitely stay again when I’m in the area! Thanks!

Very easy to check in, never even met anyone from the property. It's all done with codes and the instructions were very clear. I think the only thing I didn't like is that I was charged extra on the day of the check in and I wasn't aware I'll need to also pay for a "cleaning fee" and some tax that I had to send over PayPal.
