What i like about this place: the price for a room with a private bathroom, a fridge and microwave. What I did not like is that the walls are thin like paper and you can hear your neighboors as if they were on your room. Plan ear plugs and go out to explore the city.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The building is old and has a charm about it, however it could use a number of upgrades for a better guest experience - replace carpets, provide coffee machines/supplies in room, cleaning under beds, pest controls/mouse traps. It feels like a youth hostel more than a hotel. The competitive price per night is not aligned with quality of facility. Staff were friendly, helpful, and professional.
