This place was perfect for me as a solo traveller, it was close to everything I needed to get to! The building isn't new so of course there are some stains on the floors however it was properly cleaned and the staff were very lovely! The standard room that I had was small which honestly I prefer and because I was at the back of the building it was quiet.
