Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Its in an ideal location for the centre, close to metro lincs. Theres a lot of noise at night outside on the street. I was in a room for 6 women and it was very safe, I was solo travelling and even went out with 2 of the girls i met who were from Germany! There are lockers but you need your own padlock. The only possible issue was the toilet was accessible from the corridor and the lock from the inside was falling off :( Our balcony door was broken one day and once reported it was fixed by the next morning! Very good service!

The staff was very friendly. The room is pretty bare bones, but ours was updated and comfortable. Towels and blankets are an extra fee. This isn’t the place to be if you need quiet. That said, you are so close to everything, it is a really good spot!
