Absolute joke steer clear overpriced hostel
Pros:

Had to call as no one on reception, just strolled in 20 mins later. Put family on 4th floor, no lift and beds were on a home made mezzanine floor with dangerous steps, couldn't put grandson up there. Was furniture blocking doorway to hallway for room, "fire hazard". Walked out went elsewhere. This is more like a hostel definitely not a hotel.

Otherwise, it was a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Recommended!
Pros:

The hotel was pleasant overall: clean rooms, quiet atmosphere, friendly staff, and a convenient location. Daily housekeeping kept everything tidy and comfortable.
The only downside was the unreliable Wi-Fi—it kept cutting out or running very slowly, which was inconvenient when I needed to stay connected.

cheap, but cozy
Pros:

The hotel is great. We had a couple of vacations with friends, there was enough room for everyone. There is a mini fridge and kettle in the room, everything is working. The room is cozy, the furniture is shabby, but not broken. It's perfect for an inexpensive vacation.

Pros:

Good location and friendly staff who responded quickly and efficiently with problems.

Cons:

The entrance was in an alley that didn’t feel safe, especially since the man read our door code out aloud outside. There was a very strong smell of mould and damp in the room, although none visible. The oven didn’t work and it was one of the reasons we rented a studio in the first place.
