Review Score: 4

Summary: Ok for cheap last minute overnight stay and friendly staff on arrival. The whole building stinks absolutely awful like toilets and stale piss. The bed in private room was very uncomfortable and flat hard pillow. You have to pay for towels and there’s no other way to dry your hands in bathroom without paying for a towel. Downstairs area and Kitchen and dining area is very dark. Free breakfast provided but no fresh milk for coffee - only powdered.
