I booked this property for my husband. He had an urgent matter to attend to and we chose it because it was close to where he needed to go and the price was attractive. He liked it but stated it might be for younger population that doesn’t mind being in a hostel. Overall it served the purpose. And staff were very friendly!

DO AUTOMATICALLY LEAVE THE LAMPS ON FOR EMPTY BEDS OR NEW GUESTS. 3 of 4 nights I stayed they get left on all night or the guest comes to bed so drunk they don’t turn them off. The second floor room I stayed in had the creakiest door I’ve ever heard. So when girls are coming in and out 43 times in 1 hour at midnight, it’s loud. Creaky floors too.
