“I noted the location is a major selling point, and though some rooms are compact, they include useful amenities like a fridge and cooktop. Based on what I explored, there seems to be occasional issues around room bookings, but the staff generally receives high marks for friendliness. For travellers prioritizing being close to everything, this could still be a solid choice.”
