Modernisation has been undertaken in a fan of bright colours here, with subtlety gone out the window in a shower of reds, blues, greens and blacks. The beds could be comfier, but it's a good deal in a reasonably central location, and the rooms have plenty of space and reliable wi-fi. Book with them online for added extras.
