Absolutely terrible would not recommend to anyone to stay there.
Pros:

Absolutely nothing

Cons:

The bathrooms were covered in mould, people staying there were smoking cigarettes and marijuana in the rooms that bad we could barely breathe and our clothes stunk after staying there.
Another person staying there went off screaming and knocking on doors for 2 hours during early hours of the morning.

Cigarettes smelling room
Pros:

Booked a room here for a night, but wasn't able to stay as the room smelled strongly of cigarettes and no other rooms were available. Had paid already through booking.com and was told I would be refunded. It's been 5 days and I am still yet to recieve the refund or any communication. Do not recommend.

Pros:

Location was convenient

Cons:

The facilities are very outdated and poorly maintained. The room had a musty smell. We even found a cockroach in the bed. There is a bar on the ground floor, and you can hear absolutely everything — the noise was so loud that even the floor was vibrating, especially since there was a DJ that nigh
