Excellent spot for a short break if you want somewhere as central as you can probably get.
Pros:

Very good location, quick walk from the train station and from all the major tourist spots.
Nice touch having the tea/coffee/water and snacks in the room.
Easy to access with instructions sent in good time before arrival.
Fan in room to help it keep cool.

Cons:

Be warned it is next to a bar so music can be loud if you are a light sleeper, but earplugs were provided. A/C would be a help to keep room cooler.

great short one night break
Pros:

fantastic location, would imagine it gets noisy on weekends late night, but thats all because of location and you can't have it all, would definately book again and recommend, the fan was a great bonus. having tea and coffee making facilities and soft drinks in the foyer was a welcome plus.

Cons:

nothing at all, had a bit of an issue accessing the property due to a minor issue with the door, might be worthwhile mentioning this in the description, till it gets sorted.

How loud the street was

Cons:

The beds in the twin room are extremely narrow. Guests require an advanced feeling of balance to sleep on them. This is a basic thing. No matter how clean and well-located the hotel is when it is impossible to sleep in the room.
