Very noisy after 12am
Pros:

Location accessible to the main city

Cons:

The bathroom is not user-friendly to a person with a disability, you have no choice but to use the bath tub. Local house guests fight and scream at each other without consideration of their guests. Rooms looked out dated.

Pros:

Good experience for a 1 night stay. For a cheap price, i didn’t expect much, but the room was perfect. The staff were very welcoming & friendly.

Cons:

A separate sink in the bathroom would be preferable. A sliding door as a front door made me feel less secure. I could hear the neighbours outside talking.
