Low cost, so lower your expectations
This is a cheap, budget hotel so, if you can overlook its shortcomings it represents good value for money and is adequate for a one-night stopover. But ...
My room was not as described. The first thing I look for in a description is the inclusion of a mini-bar or fridge in the room - not because I cannot live without an alcoholic nightcap, but because I'm diabetic and need to keep my insulin chilled. Yet the listed minibar was absent. The sole staff member on site was excellent, however, and immediately produced a small fridge from storage and brought to my room. Unfortunately it took a while to reach a cold temperature, but my ice blocks maintained a chill until then.
I overlooked the fact that the listed double bed had shrunk to a single, but was more disappointed that the bedlinen was poor - holes in the pillow, rips on the sheet, a stiff and lumpy quilt, and all with an overriding stench of stale body odour! Combined with a hard mattress, aningress of cigarette smoke, and noise from neighboring rooms (surely not the soundproofed room as described) I did not sleep well.
The shower was good and breakfast was adequate (although I would have appreciated some fruit juice and coffee), and the staff were enthusiastic and helpful.
The hotel could be much better - it has good bones but needs work to pull it up to a decent standard.
