7.3Verified guest“I spent a few nights at this budget place in a central location. The bed was comfortable, the room had ample space for two, and the sink was handy for morning and nightly routines. Shared showers had plenty of hot water and were roomy. Shared toilets were clean. Common areas were large, and the room had nice furniture and a wooden desk. Self-check-in was easy, and the tram made the center and attractions accessible.”
