Worth the price
Pros:

We had a late check in but it wasn’t a problem because they have a night porter.
Simple room with bathroom, included breakfast (irish one) - it was really good.
Bus stop was right by the entrance and approximately 30min walking distance from city center.

Cons:

Maybe there was a little bad water pressure in the shower but the rest was good.
