I approached the check in but the lady at the desk was writing something and didn't acknowledge me until I stood at the desk for 20 seconds and asked if i could check in (after she had seen me come in). Not awful but not a great start after a long journey.
The facilities were a bit outdated and the paint was chipping in the sinks and shower. The beds were incredibly noisy, any time i or anyone moved it would practically wake the whole room up.
Overall an average stay but I would not come back.

Overall it’s a budget accommodation, close to the center and common areas are great actually. Cleanliness is not great but perhaps is the people that don’t clean up after themselves.
