Good for a short stay

It’s a small room but fine for my short stay. It was clean and comfortable. I thought it was a bit expensive but it might be because of the date and last minute booking.

Very basic hotel, it is clean but it doesn’t have any staff to ask or assist you. Veeery small room and their heater was so hard to figure out but we didn’t have anyone to ask about it.
