We found this rather noisy and couldn't have our window open during the night. When we arrived they had a problem with their card system so we had to be let into our room for the first day. Room was clean though.

For a budget friendly hotel, it was okay, due to the heatwave we had, a fan was put in to the room which was amazing, upon arrival though, no one was on the desk to check us In, there was a number to ring to call someone back but we rang multiple of times and no one answered, the shower in the bathroom wouldn’t turn to a cool setting so during the heatwave we had to shower in very warm water which wasn’t great, as a first time staying there it done the job for the location, would we stay here again, maybe but wouldn’t be a go to first choice

The rooms had no air conditioning, which is a major downside. The noise from outside continued throughout the night, and the small fan in the room was definitely not enough — none of us could sleep properly. Especially during hot weather, staying in a room without air conditioning is simply unacceptable. That said, I would still like to thank the staff. It must be very difficult for them to keep the rooms clean and organized in such heat, and they were doing their best. I’m giving 5 stars for the staff, but the hotel seriously needs improvements in terms of comfort.

Convenient for what we needed but very shabby rooms and certainly NOT CLEAN. Door lock dodgy so had to edge a chair up against it!
