    Great value for money. One short metro away from the center, low price and you get your own room, for less than you would pay at a hostel. Definitely worth a stay for a few days.

    Still my favourite place to stay in the area where one can come early to put bags and also leaves bags after check out for the day. Staff are generally helpful. Lots of friendliness in the communal area if one is seeking conversation.
