On the less favourable side, EBIN VICTOR (3★, around nine years ago) noted it was “not very clean but affordable” - a cleanliness concern that does not appear in more recent feedback. The property’s average from its most recent reviews sits closer to 4.0★, suggesting conditions have either improved or the older comment was an outlier.
