"This hotel did the job for one night before I joined a tour. The staff were very friendly, my suitcase had been taken in before I even realised it was out the taxi! I stayed on a saturday night and there was live music in the street until about 10pm, something to be aware of if that bothers you. The walls seem quite thin also. For me it wasn't really an issue for one night."
