This is my second time at this hotel, and all I can say is how wonderful it is! Very convenient and affordable. I don’t like the small rooms, but that’s what a hostel hotel it’s all about. I recommend a lot if your just saying for a few days and don’t have many bags. Maybe as a start up hotel!

The room with twin beds does not have a lot of space to move around though two big luggages can be put under the beds. I think guests should have the option to request the round table to be removed from their room for a bit more space. Washrooms are on the same floor but showers are on a different floor. It feels more like a hostel.
