It is a no-frills property. And that's fine.However, they do need to include a shower curtain in their bathrooms. Also I did not like that we had to provide a deposit for an additional room card, as only one card was issued per room.

Property is old and run down. They did not clean our room during our stay I had to ask. Although I don’t think they clean at all. Hair was everywhere, stained sheets. If could’ve booked another hotel and taken the financial loss I would’ve.

This hotel is located at the fringe of the light industrial area and is a good 15 mins train ride from the shopping zone. Convenience stores are located in close proximity. Some fixtures are in run down state but still workable. Wifi is provided but intermittent. On a whole is a value for money.
