The location worked for me, it was close to bus stops.
This hotel was a let down. My room smelled damp and the window didn't close properly. I could hear street noise all night, hard to sleep.

The shower was a real problem. I could not get any hot water in the shower, only at the bathtub tap. This was quite inconvenient. The staff did not respond to my message about the hot water. There was also a problem with the water pressure.
