The room worked well for me and was quite spacious. It had all the kitchen tools I needed and was located in a quite area. The only drawback was the WiFi access was lacking some evenings and the front desk was not particularly helpful. Otherwise I enjoyed the stay.

Good budget friendly stay

We booked last minute and it was a good, budget friendly stay. Easy check in, spacious and good facilities. The decor could do with an update, but for the price we had no complaints.

There was no air conditioning in the room, so it was so hot I had to leave the front door open. Also, the noise from the cars on the road was so loud that I couldn't sleep well at night. And when I checked in, the hospitality was incredibly rude.
