Pros:

It was a small basic single bed room. There was a shared bathroom and toilet at the end of the corridor. Although it was a shared bathroom/toilet both were very clean.
Staff was very helpful and kind.

Cons:

The stale smell.

Pros:

The location and the friendly staff

Cons:

The main concern was the noise from the music, which made it very difficult to sleep. I appreciated the lovely staff and the location, but the noise made it a real struggle

Excellent choice for a budget stay, in a great location.

Very clean, comfortable bed, great location, ear plugs provided ( not needed!) and even after dinner mints on the bed! Great showers, recently updated. Great value for money.

A little noisy but this was expected and did not disturb us.
