If i could give zero stars i would! Absolutely filthy! Hair on the sheets, stain on the pillow case, obviously not clean sheets. Carpet not vacuumed, dirt on the carpet & food crumbs under the table. Bathroom hadn't been cleaned in who knows how long. We were offered another room which ended up just as dirty. One of the lifts smelt putrid. Too bad if you needed the phone in an emergency in the as...

Great location. But that’s about it. Room smelt like an ash tray. Bathroom was mouldy. Glasses were mouldy & had lipstick stains all over them. Carpet was ripped & stained. Dirty tissue on window sill. Used cotton tip on floor. Do not recommend.

This is an old building run down with no views but it had everything we needed. The linen and towels were clean, very comfortable bed, bathroom was clean and had all the necessities. Fridge microwave, kettle and tea/coffee/milk provided. The location is great. For a short very cheap stay this place is much better than expected. Happy with the service.
