A beautiful old building in poor repair, could be really special. Dining area dingy and drab. Lack of information generally.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The bathroom was shared, there were not enough blankets, and there were insufficient amenities like toilet paper. It was more like a hostel than a hotel. Nonetheless, it was cheap, and the staff was pleasant, so for the price, it is acceptable.

Shared restrooms. Feels like living in a college dorm room. The room and Beds are clean. It's more a hostel not a hotel.

The doors aren't very noise-avoidant so me and my partner ended up waking up very frequently as some noisy tourists marched up and down the hall and called each other without regard for others at 12:30am. There were also a number of dead flies in my room and on the curtains, which wasn't particularly pleasant. The staff worker was nice and friendly, but the lack of a designated reception space to check in felt quite unusual to me, and it took me a few minutes to work out how to check in as the only instruction I could find was on the front door outside the building.

Way too noisy as walls are very thin. We heard snoring from one room and people making lots of noise going into their rooms at all hours. Also $102 is too dear for just a room when you had to walk down the hall for toilets and showers, probably would have got a better deal at a backpackers. Also bed very hard and only got 1 towel for 2 people.
