The hotel is situated down a dark alley beside a dodgy bottle shop, in an area not open after 9, but it is conveniently close to the Airport and Hornby shops. The rooms are kept very clean, featuring a very comfortable bed and a good shower. The service was exceptional and very friendly, especially the Reception desk service. Despite the questionable location, the staff helped out heaps, providing great assistance. The dining options primarily available are pasta dishes.
