Simple lodgings offered value for money.
This simple budget accommodation represented good value for money, according to most guests. Many described the room rates as competitive owing to the lack of breakfast and noted the rooms were simple but more than satisfactorily clean and comfortable for a short stay. Guests reported easily finding cafes and pubs serving breakfast and other meals in the vicinity. Travelers generally said there were no luxuries at this establishment, but many felt this was fairly reflected in the price.

Some obstacles to sleep.

Sometimes, reviewers were disturbed by noise from neighboring rooms, prompting claims that soundproofing could benefit from being enhanced.

Early check out bothered some.

Patchy Wi-Fi.
Some reports mentioned problems accessing a signal for the free Wi-Fi service; others claimed the network was on the slow side.
