Exactly what I was looking for. Compact, tidy, close to city.
Pros:

Great location, tidy room with essentials. Good aircon which made the stay much more pleasant, definitely shouldn't be understated.

Cons:

Bed was a bit too soft for my taste, but that's personal preference.
Walls were a bit thin, most people were quiet after 10pm so no problems, but I imagine if you have some louder neighbors who are partying it would be loud.

Cons:

The room we booked had a private bathroom, but it was located right next to the shared bathroom and the noise from it was so audible in the room as if that shared bathroom was part of our room.

The room appeared bigger on pictures. In reality it's extremely small.

Poor value for money.
