Mixed feelings about my stay

missing lift basic amenities

My experience had some issues. I found no lift in the building, so reaching higher floors was difficult. The room also lacked basic amenities like a telephone. the hotel needs attention.

adequate stay

friendly staff basic room amazing manager shabby decor noisy atmosphere banging door

the staff seemed fantastic. i can recommend the staff as they went the extra mile. the rooms are basic, but they did the job for what i needed . the manager was amazing too.

the decor was generally shabby. i was not expecting much different from an old-style hotel, but some may have an issue. it was also noisy, and i did not sleep well, with doors banging throughout the night and early hours.
