Pros:

It was exactly what we needed. We were attending for a dance comp, so only used the hotel for sleeping in really as we were up and out at 8am and now back until around 9pm or after.
Really reasonably priced. Basic room, but value for money and expected. Beds comfortable and had an on suite. Tea and coffee facilities and mini fridge. The room was also provided with a fan, which was a great touch because the room got hot through the night so that helped! The manager was fab!! He allowed us to check in early without a problem as we were attending the tower for a comp at the usual check in time, he was so friendly and attentive. 10/10 for customer service. Offered to carry bags up etc with us being on top floor, and very polite!

A bed for the night - Hostel style and "quality"
Pros:

I only needed a bed to sleep in and place for my suitcase. That's what I got. After all, it is a hostel, so it wasn’t surprising that the small three-person room consisted only of a bunk bed with a queen bed at the bottom, a small sink, a kettle, and a flat-screen TV. The curtains had seen better days and didn’t fully cover the window. The carpet had endured a bit of everything and hadn’t been vacuumed under the bed, but it did help shield against any potential cold.

There was heating from the radiator and the temperature was comfortable, so I never felt cold in the room, which I had to myself.

The staff (one person) was polite and welcoming. I simply needed a place to sleep while attending a congress around the corner. For that purpose, the place worked perfectly fine for me. Some of my friends would probably have been a bit less “enthusiastic.”

Cons:

The bathroom and toilet are located in the hallway and are of the standard you would expect at a hostel.
Cleaning could have been better.

Mai più……in questa baracca !
Pros:

Soltanto il ragazzo della reception, disponibile ed educato.

Cons:

La stanza faceva puzza di umido e muffa, entrava acqua dal piano di sopra, e ho trovato il materasso superiore del letto a castello inzuppato di acqua !!!
