Booked incorrectly as single beds, but upgraded & amended on site, excellent service. Towels available but not face cloth’s? Also the pedestal basin with no where to put anything you need. Awesomely close to everything.

It was clean enough for Backpackers, and staff were kind. But there were many things in the fridge. So I couldn’t use it. And because of the neighbors (bar or restaurants), it was noisy until midnight. So I won’t recommend if you are sensitive to noise. Anyway It was good for me.

Our double room was very cold. When the heat pump was on it was very noisy so it was easier to sleep with it off
