Good for the price but a bit noisy
Pros:

The price is good and the rooms are clean and in good condition even though it's a reasonably old building (which is part of its charm).

Cons:

It's not very sound proof. The welcome email warns you that they have karaoke until midnight on weekends, but when i got there i was told 1am. Also the people a few doors up were watching the rugby on their tv with the sound blaring and you could hear it all down the corridor.
