Advantages: Cheap, central location Disadvantages: dirty, rather uninviting, noisy location
There's not really that much you can say about this hotel.
Generally very basic, and I mean BASIC and a little to close to the road for some people, but take a set of earplugs and you'll sleep fine!
Used by a lot of city break tour companies for a one night stay. ALSO used by a lot of "couples" (if you know what I mean) who arrive at 11.00 and are out the door by 3pm!

Luckily the next one was just about useable if you didn't mind the very wet floor! The showers are also in the corridor, but we didn't bother with them. Of course that meant meeting semiclad strangers on way back to rooms. As well as the totally naked man that appeared.
