6/10 Good

Nice clean room in a convenient location. Close to various city noises (I think there was a giant trash compaction nearby) that banged on past midnight and started again around 6am. May also have to contend with noisy students carousing very late (like 2:30am). Key stopped working early despite reassurance it wouldn't (but was fixed quickly). Desk doesn't always have a person but they will show up within 1-2 mins on call. Staff are super-friendly. Overall would consider staying again but be prepared for sleep being disrupted.

10/10 Exceptional

I really liked it. Lots of stairs so be aware if you have big bags. But safe, cozy, really comfortable beds and super great location. Yes it is abit old but honestly many big hotel chains charge double -triple and are also old looking so great for the price and it was super clean and tidy.

The staff were very friendly, and we had a comfortable stay. The amenities were excellent as well. Since it’s on a street with many restaurants, the noise at night was a bit noticeable, but apart from that, I was very satisfied.

We had a great stay! The staff was friendly, the room clean, and great access to everything! It could get a little loud at night, but we were impressed with the sound proofing. In terms of service, my mom forgot her phone, and not only did they call right away, they raced to the train station to make sure we didn’t leave without it! I would definitely come back.
