Comfy and basic
Beds were comfy and rooms were clean, perfect for a one night stay if you're not looking for any too fancy. Communal areas were comfortable too and they have a room with a ping-pong table etc.

Staff were very nice and the room was very clean. But the free Wi-Fi connection was terrible, on and off. The speed without Wi-Fi was also slow for some reason, in the lobby and in our room.
