Basic
Good location but insanely complicated check-in and door access. Room and bathroom facilities pared down to the absolute minimum and run down, but just about usable.

Good price for the location
Single room is small but clean and comfortable. Your getting location rather than size! It's good though. Easy check-in/out.

Close to transit. The carpet in the room didn’t seem clean. There was a lot of outside noise. the bathrooms were decent size and somewhat clean. I wish they had tables to set your things down in the bathrooms. The luggage storage was tight and small. The staff was friendly and helpful. The stay was decent for what we needed for a day.

Very happy.
Great hotel. Great location. Friendly staff. Clean. Comfy bed. Smallish room but good for a short stay. Inner glazing helped with noise. Will be coming back.
