8/10 Good
"The staff were great and it was great having them at the building 24 hours. The room was decent. The single had enough room to layout my suitcase and have room to walk around. The air conditioning was a life saver in the hot summer heat and kept the room comfortably cool. The location was also good, close to the train station. There was only one small set of stairs to navigate on the way. The breakfast was basic, it was sufficient to keep me full till lunch but nothing special."
