Nothing. Everything was awful.

Cons:

Everywhere was very dirty. There was no elevator. It was like a refugee camp.

Even if you're on a budget probably give it a miss...
Pros:

Breakfast was ok. It was basic but had toast and cereals, fruit and machine coffee. Plus a pancake machine. Location was convenient to train station

Cons:

The accommodation was dirty/moldy. Poorly designed (sink on other side of room to bathroom), I could feel and hear the bed springs. I could hear other guests coming and going. Budget is an understatement.
