Shocking stay at this place, it’s like a crèche hundreds of kids running around lawlessly. No towel included in your booking you need to pay for that, and pay to store your bag while waiting to check in, and they hand you your bed sheets when you check in to make your whole bed from scratch like prisoner of ww2. Bed frame full of rubbish and extremely dusty. Absolutely brutal experience.

This is a hostel so it doesn’t have some of the amenities of a hotel but it was very nice. We were a family of seven traveling and we had plenty of space in our room. We felt very comfortable and it was nice and quiet. I would recommend this place!

Better than many hotels, and much less $$$

I gave this a five because it is what it says it is and maybe a bit more. Very convenient to the train station. Tall rooms with good lighting. Breakfast was fine. All for very reasonable price.

My only complaint about this property is that the rooms were way too hot, making it hard to sleep some nights. They need to turn the heat way down---or at least privide windows that open for some air. Otherwise, it was fantastic!
