The location was good and close to transport links. That was acceptable.
The room i stayed in definitely showed signs of wear and tear. Some of the furniture looked quite old and damaged. the bathroom wasn't very clean, especially the shower area. also, i found the noise levels at night to be disruptive. It was difficult to sleep well.
