"Although it is centrally located in the central business district, this means you are exposed to pubs and bars that remain open well after 2 AM, so it is quite noisy in the early morning hours. The rooms are beyond small, I would describe them more as tiny. If only for one night, it’s probably OK. But I would not stay at this ma location again."
