Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests consistently praise the hotel's central location and proximity to transport, making it convenient for travel. However, many reviews highlight significant issues with cleanliness, uncomfortable beds, and noise, particularly from the street and lifts. While some guests mention friendly staff and affordable prices, the overall experience is often marred by outdated facilities, lack of proper cleaning, and uncomfortable sleeping arrangements. The hotel seems to be undergoing renovations, but this does not fully address guests' concerns. Overall, the location is the main positive aspect, while cleanliness and comfort need improvement.
