Cheap and cheerful, if you are looking for luxury then this isn’t the place for you. However for the price I found it served my needs. Beds were fine and the room/bathroom were very spacious. I Would stay again.

Disappointing Stay, Not Suitable for Families or Solo Travellers I stayed here recently and, unfortunately, the experience was quite uncomfortable. The pub on the ground floor creates a very loud and disruptive atmosphere — during my stay, a few intoxicated individuals made racist remarks, particularly targeting asians, which made me feel very unsafe. Definitely not a welcoming environment for families or solo travellers. The building is old, and although the bedsheets and covers were clean, the bathroom was extremely dirty and clearly not maintained. There was a strong smell of smoke throughout the corridors, which lingered the entire time. Check-in was slow, and no Wi-Fi details were provided, which made it harder to settle in. The only major positive is that the location is convenient, being close to the port area and public transport. The bathroom was filthy, and to make things worse, the drainage didn’t work — water just pooled on the floor and wouldn’t go down. Totally unacceptable. The entire building is old, poorly maintained, and there was a constant smell of smoke in the corridors. In all, this property does not offer value for money, and I would not recommend it unless you’re just looking for a last-minute, one-night stay and are prepared for a rough atmosphere.

It is bad.

It is an old, decaying hotel. The room smelt bad, and there was no way to open the window. The general state of cleanliness was poor. The fact that such a place is still available for rent is unbelievable.

Pictures that others have put up are a true view of the room YOU may be staying at, I thought working away from home and staying in digs was bad HOWEVER, they were the Ritz compared to this YOU SHOULD BE PAYING ME FOR STAYING THERE, if my wife had came with me, we would have been straight back home that day! If the right people went in here it would be shut down FACT!

we knew we were not staying in a high end hotel. this hotel is fine if you need an affordable place to stay. we stayed in a family room with 3 beds. one was a nirmal twin and thw other was a bunk bed with a double on the bottom and a twin on the top. the bunk bed was nit comfortable but the single twin was. our shower had a small amount of black mold and the apartment had a musty smell. no wifi password was given and we didnt want to go i to the bar and ask so we lived without it.

Inexpensive ... but

Staff were very helpful. We checked in very late. Room was clean but very dated. One mattress was terrible the other was ok.

Get what you pay for

I didn't expect luxury but it was bad. The bedding was worn and pilling so it felt dirty. The shower might rank as the worst shower I have ever had. I didn't wash my hair for fear of never getting the shampoo out and it was barely warm. The room was not filthy but definitely grubby and had a damp smell. The only save was that it was above a pub full of locals that were friendly and entertaining on a Karaoke night. The big problem with them was that the smokers were under the window after we retired and were loud. I've stayed in worse accomodations, but they were a small town in the former Soviet Union.
