    I was able to book last minute, which was very convenient, and the staff was very kind when I arrived late at night and left early in the morning. The bed was comfortable and there was a metal box under the bed that you could easily put your stuff...

    Great place for solo travelers. Its easy to make friends here if you take seat in the bar/smoking area for a few hours and relax. The shower water pressure is great, and so hot. The beds are soft, the sheets are nice. On the first night I was here...
