Categories

Cleanliness
5.5
Mixed reports: some guests called the place incredibly clean, but multiple mentions of shared-bathroom mouldy smells, overflowing bins and generally 'not clean' reduce the score.
Service
8.8
Generally strong: staff repeatedly described as friendly, accommodating and extremely helpful (assisted with room changes, helpful front desk), supporting a high score.
Location
8.5
Consistently positive: frequently described as central, strategic, walking distance to town, shops and attractions — a key strength.
Room Quality
6
Mixed to below average: issues reported include thin walls/noise, occasional sewage smell, small rooms, broken TV, obstructive bed placement and inconsistent shower quality.
Amenities
7.4
Generally good: shared kitchen praised (well-equipped, labelled fridge), facilities described as great by some, but shared bathroom hygiene and some broken items (kettle, fan) temper the score.
Value for Money
7.6
Mostly positive: several guests found it good value and suitable for families, though others felt issues (noise, cleanliness) hurt the overall value.
Food and Beverage
7.2
Standard quality for this hotel tier (no specific food/beverage service mentioned aside from shared kitchen facilities).
Overall Experience
6.6
Mixed overall: many positives (location, helpful staff, good facilities) but recurring negatives (noise, shared-bath hygiene, maintenance issues) lead to an overall lukewarm impression.

Great place to stay for a group of friends or family.
Pros:

The kitchen and the common area was spacious. I could cook and save some money because eating out was expensive. Also its location is quite good. Easy 10 mins walk to the city centre.
