So disappointing I left after one night. A small, cramped room (with 2 beds and no space to walk), creaky beds, outdated decor, the most basic of equipment- and a supposedly continental breakfast which was laughable. The bed was old and creaky, and the room was noisy. It’d be hard to imagine a more depressing night...

Avoid the ground floor in front.
Don't stay on the first floor in room 101 or 102. You can hear everything from the buzzer for the front door to the clerk typing on their keyboard. Other than that, excellent.
