Small room, but quiet and clean. Friendly staff. Internet not the best but good enough for guest who staying for a night or two. Only thing missing was a fridge. Fridges are not available in any room. That's not good for guest that like to stay more then just 1 or 2 nights. Location is also ok. There are restaurants , small shops and even 7 eleven in walking distance.
