Perfectly adequate budget accommodation
Pros:

It's a budget hotel yet the room was clean and bed was unexpectedly comfortable. The staff were friendly and efficient. Check in and check out was swift. Free coffee and tea in the reception was highly appreciated.

Cons:

The shower in my room drained slowly but nothing unbearable. The plug placement in the room was not great but it was manageable.
