The Room we had was a triple with 02 large singles like... More

The hotel itself could use a bit of refurbishment, but it is in good condition. Room spacious with... More

Stayed for one night. Hotel is nicely located good staff very clean big rooms. We did not have high expectations for this hotel as we had heard from close friends that it is a basic hotel with clean rooms and toilets. We were pleasantly surprised when we got to our room

we had a big and very clean room on the 3rd floor, fully equipped, sanitary facilities in very good condition, comfortable matresses, nice furniture. since the hotel is located on a busy street, traffic noise can be heared in the rooms. there was a nasty smell of mould in the lobby. luckily the air in the room was clean.
