We had a great time, will definitely be booking again!
Pros:

Great location, very friendly staff. The room was a great size for two people with a nice balcony and comfortable bed. Great facilities for the affordable price !

Cons:

The shared shower- we weren’t told that it would be shared until we got there. The shower also didn’t have great pressure and would go from freezing cold to boiling hot constantly.

Won't be back.
Pros:

I like that you feel like your on the set of the gangster series TopBoy regarding the surrounding area and view. The balcony was a nice touch but that's about it.

Cons:

The waiting for someone to answer the door only to be told to wait then once your in via a telecom machine you're told to wait again then go to a box on the wall to get your key. It's very strange there's no nice greeting I didn't even see anyone. It's like entering a crackhouse. The bathroom had hairs on the floor it was dark and gloomy. The entire experience from start to finish was very strange I won't be staying again.
