tiny shower spiral staircase
the shower was tiny, almost like a coffin. it was a struggle to shower comfortably. the water heater barely managed to produce a trickle of water, so the shower was more of an ordeal than a relaxing experience.. getting up to the attic room was not easy. a narrow spiral staircase made it difficult with three suitcases and two backpacks.

Solid stay close to transport links

convenient location helpful service good view
The hotel is near bus routes to the city centre. I appreciated that I could leave my luggage before check-in. It helped me maximise my first day. The view from my attic room was good after I worked out how to open the window.
My room needed some freshening up, and some chairs showed wear.

bus frequency room size luggage storage makeshift feeling poor bathroom previous use
It was easy to find from the airport. Buses frequently go into the city. Our room was a great size. We were able to store luggage and that was helpful.
the whole place felt somewhat makeshift. I felt the hotel had likely been used for a very different purpose previously with few changes made since. The bathroom was particularly poor.
