Not friendly at all
I booked a room thru Hotels.com but when I arrived to the hotel the welcome was rude. The guy told me the hotel was fully booked, then when he saw I had this booking with Hotels.com, he told me "well we got an other hotel, wait we will drive u there" I wait around 1 hour, then a guy took me there, it was a bit far and the hotel was horrible and the room was worst, without window so I asked them to cancel the booking but they didn't and it looks like that Hotels.com does not care much about that, I still have no refund!

Terrible... The bed had no headrest so there were unsightly marks made by people who leaned on the wall..!

Cheap & Suitable, with nice managers
Low-cost, budget hotel. Staff are extremely nice. (When they realized that I wasn't leaving town until the evening, they even offered to let me take a shower after I had checked out.)

Towels smell bad. No tv and kettle in the room, hopefully they at least provide tv in the future. Nevertheless, the location is good because museums are within walking distance.

Not a nice place
The room is basic which is fine for what you pay. However the beds are probably 20 years old. You can feel the springs. Couldn't sleep and one will get a back ache. Not really a budget inn to supply such amenities. Wont recommend it to any one for whatever reason. Hope the management does something about this soon.

First we were told to come back in two hours after a long bus trip as they couldn't find our expedia booking. Then they gave us a room furthest from the wifi router. When asking the night staff where is the TV and free wifi advertised, we were told a bunch of different stories, then told the truth which was some rooms have TV but now none of them work. We were however moved to a room without bugs and closer to the router on the second night.
