It’s located in a good area near to many important places. They provide you towels, cover for night and breakfast with different options. The day I was there they had a movie night. Confortable beds. Clean bathroom. I think it’s perfect if you travel alone and need to stay cheap. The only “downside” is that I didn’t find private rooms, maybe I just didn’t search enough. Anyways, I really don’t mind sleeping with more people. If that’s your case you found the perfect place.
