Go in knowing that it's a cheap accommodation and since you get what you pay for, it's not too bad in that sense.

I liked the location, I liked the staff (super kind), I liked the the room, even if it had a leaky faucet and a very noisy bathroom fan. I did not like the fact that there were too many "refugees and or asylum seekers" staying at he hotel, they were very noisy, they were not considerate to other people's rights for a quiet evening/night, and we witnessed them stealing food from the breakfast table, that was despicable
