Maybe I glossed over this, but our room had no windows. Everything else was fine. If you need this to fit a budget then that’s fine, but you won’t want to spend any time in the dark cramped room. It’s clean and location was great, but would probably just pay more next time for something better.

The property and staff were great. The location is good, however the pubs and night clubs are right outside your window and so loud that even with ear plugs the boom boom boom can still be heard. It’s really loud in your room and this goes until about 3am. Then soon after that you get the rubbish truck so wasn’t great for sleep. If you want to go out and party till 3am then you will be fine but not great if you want a normal nights sleep.

The amenities were great. The tourist information desk was also convenient. Maybe it was just the dorm I stayed in, but wish the outlet plugs were closer to the bed instead of across the room without any shelving to place the electronics while charging.
