7.8/10 Good! (1,009 reviews)
Great location, room is very clean and has everything you need The hotel is above a nightclub, when the club is open you have to enter the hotel via a grubby side entrance. Don't expect to sleep well here on a Friday or Saturday night, the noise from the night club is very loud and the ear plugs provided upon check in do little to help. Staff are friendly and helpful. Aside from the noise from the club, it is a good hotel.
