I booked the hotel based on what looked like a good location on the map and a good price online. The hotel is located on a very busy road, but I found the hotel was well insulated from the noise outside. The area is not very nice - I thought the roads in the vicinity had some pretty dodgy characters hanging around.
The staff were excellent - very helpful and pleasant. They gave me a map and pointed out the sites.
My room was located under the stairs on the ground floor - this had a main room with 2 single beds and another room with a single bed in (there was only me, so it wasn't useful). The room was quite cold and the bed covers were very thin and basic. It was very noisy and I could hear people walking upstairs all through the night. The furnishing of the room was not very nice, and looked very cheap and flimsy. The bathroom was small and was not cleaned very well.
There was free wifi, and it was quick and easy to log onto. The breakfast was good - nice ham, cheese, bread, cereal and fruit.
Overall I thought the place was very poor value for money, and I would not return.
