Convenient location, friendly staff and clean facilities. What more can you ask for? If you don’t mind sharing a room and bathrooms (there are plenty, that’s also a plus) with other guests, this place would be your first and best choice. The kitchen has almost everything you will need, pans, plates, bowls and cutlery. The dishwashing soap was the only mystery that remained. Otherwise pretty useful. I would definitely stay there again.
