Disliked: Amenities
The location is very good. I booked a room that from the description, could either have one bed, or, as I was after, 2 beds. As it turned out, my first three nights were in a one-bed room but then a subsequent night (a few days later) after booking the same room type, I got the 2 bed room I really wanted. When I booked, I looked for opportunities to specify that having two beds was important to me, but no option existed. I think that there could be more clarity in this regard.

Booked incorrectly as single beds, but upgraded & amended on site, excellent service. Towels available but not face cloth’s? Also the pedestal basin with no where to put anything you need. Awesomely close to everything.

Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
It was clean enough for Backpackers, and staff were kind. But there were many things in the fridge. So I couldn’t use it. And because of the neighbors (bar or restaurants), it was noisy until midnight. So I won’t recommend if you are sensitive to noise. Anyway It was good for me.
