The location is very good, less than 15 minutes to walk to the coach station or railway station. There are many shops and cafes near the hotel. The room is clean and the air conditioning is good. The staff are polite and helpful. The building is a bit old style but it is OK for me.

Really friendly staff, really nice budget hotel, not sure how it’s rated 4 stars as it’s a bit more dated than a premier in. I wouldn’t let it stop you staying, location is excellent so is the room size and the beds were really comfortable. Just they really need to hoover the rooms and replace some bits! All in all would still stay again for a budget trip.
