Private room with ensuite which was basic but clean and as described. The reviews noting the reception persons seeming disinterest and low motivation to assist were accurate but this did not affect my stay. The other issues of which people have written is the uncomfortable vibe of locals hanging out in the common area at the pool tables - I felt the same, and no wifi was inconvenient. Overall, I had a good experience and would recommend if you want budget accommodation in a good location
