This is a place to stay for one night on a budget.
Pros:

Location is good.

Cons:

This is not a proper hotel. It’s a bar/restaurant with rooms upstairs. Paper thin walls. Some poor fellow was coughing his lungs out for three nights straight. Staff were cold and generally unhelpful. I don’t think I got one smile. I ordered a room with a queen bed and received a confirmation accordingly but was supplied with a room with two singles. I ended up having my morning coffee and evening cocktails in the hotel (proper) next door.
