Very basic amenities but you are getting what you pay for at a budget hotel! Bedroom was clean and had a mini fridge, towels and enough space to hang/ store clothes. No air con but was provided with a big fan which was appreciated. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Shared bathrooms were basic and weren’t the cleanest but, again, was what I expected for the price I was paying! Would definitely book again for a cheap stay in the city close to lots of public transport options.

There is no air conditioning but nice big windows that open which is great. There was a fan provided which was adequate. Bathrooms could be kept more up to date with cleaning and toilet paper topped up.

Shared bathroom but it must have been my bad that I didn’t read well. Beds were not comfortable. No A/C available. However, for the price, it was not terrible to spend two nights there. Staff was very friendly and allowed us to storage our luggage after check out until our time to go to the airport.

The biggest problem was the two flights of stairs to climb with a suitcase.It is not mention in the advertisament.I stayed one week and although I did not expect sservice every day I don't think replenishing my tea bags would not be offered. Bed was fantastic

All Amenities should be cleaned each day. Carpets on the stairs not vacuumed. Room was average, the sheets were clean and bed comfortable. Just a little care with cleanliness would have made me feel more relaxed.
