I booked this at the last minute and was a bit worried when I read some of the reviews. There was mention of damp etc. but this had clearly been delt with and the room was clean and freshly painted. It was nice to have a fan as it was hot and the top window let in fresh air. There was noise from outside but thats to be expected in a city. The other guests were quiet (I guess thats just luck) and if you are happy to share a kitchen and bathroom then its fine. Everything was as described, good value, and better than I expected so would definitely recommend!
