The room was clean. It had a nice big window for ventilation and a good shower.

Accessing the room was difficult. I got another room, but it was at the top of the house. There were four flights of narrow stairs. The floor in the bedroom was not level.

The location was very central. It was convenient for buses. The staff were nice and very helpful. A pleasant little garden was right in front.

The room was nothing like the rooms pictured. It was in desperate need of modernisation. The shower drain did not drain well. This made the room smell.
