I really liked this place. It's really close to everything I wanted. There's two supermarkets nearby, and it was an easy walk over the bridge to the art galleries and the more interesting cafes. The rooms and beds all look nice and new, and it is air-conditioned. One area for improvement: there seemed to be many broken vending machines and bags of washing or garbage on each floor - these should be cleared away.

I was very impressed about the size of the kitchen and the safety of leaving your stuff in the fridge and no one touches it.

Awesome city location, clean and quiet rooms, great showers, relaxing outdoor area, although no social atmosphere and I never really saw anyone in the building other than in the stairwells. The reception staff didn't seem too enthusiastic, especially a French girl on reception who didn't seem to want to know me or be there at all. The cleaning staff doing loud vacuuming at 9am on a Saturday was a bit annoying when I was trying to sleep in. A pleasant cheap alternative to a city hotel, but not much else. I would stay there again though.

Kitchen was horrendous, we have been travelling for a while now and this was the worst. Noone cleans their pots so there was never clean pots to use and the kitchen was filthy, full of cockroachs and other bugs, Would definately not recommend staying here, We informed the staff about the cleanliness and they were not bothered. Its a shame as the location is fantastic, in the heart of the city, and the room sizes were good.

It was fine but the staff were miserable, it was like walking into the headmasters office.
