A backpacker's good spot

Liked: Great location and price, the staff is friendly and helpful. The place is old and it shows but it's clean and has the important equipment.
Disliked: The room was cold -the wind was rattling the window and the heating didn't work.

Liked: The shared bathroom turned out not to be a 1 bath between 2 but one for the whole floor, with a handheld shower spray. Not ideal. But the staff were lovely and the rooms were clean.
