Don't be put off by the unattractive street entrance. This is a very comfortable hotel, with nice, clean rooms, decent bathrooms, a great patio/pool area, an agreeable staff, and even a decent make-it-yourself continental breakfast. It seems popular with young travelers with good reason, it offers attractive rooms and good service at great rates. I did not stay in the dorm area, but that looked clean and appealing too. I would happily recommend this hotel to others.
