close to the station

This hotel is really close to the main train station. However all around there were lots of drunkards and beggars that made our short walk very unpleasant. The room is the standard A&O room, which we like for 1-2 night stay. The walls were a bit dirty and the big mirror in the room was broken and just put on the table ( we took a pic and showed to the reception). The toilette was clean.

Great location

We stayed in the 'hotel' part of the accommodation. Ours was a room with two single beds, plus a pair of bunk beds. It wasn't the biggest room in the world, but it was more than adequate. A good ensuite with an excellent shower. The location of the hotel/hostel is excellent, just five minutes from the main station. The common areas are all well kept and the bar prices were very reasonable. In case you are driving it is worth noting that there is no parking available on site. We parked in a multi-storey which was about five minutes walk away.
