The hotel/hostel was lovely. Staff were great, amazing location. The room was perfect for the value, my only pain point, no ironing facilities and the room wasn’t cleaned after after the day 1. Highly recommend, for the value, location and staff!

I was sceptical given the cheap price but I was pleasantly surprised. Clean, comfortable and a large room too. I can’t fault anything for this being a “budet” hotel. Great value

Verified review

8/10 Very good

Great Value for money, great location. The hotel was 2 separate buildings so our group was separated as had booked individually. It wasn't as problem for us, but if it would be, then I suggest you ring and ask to be placed together. The only down fall was it didn't have tea / coffee facilities in the room, which for me was difficult as I rise early but don't want to have to get ready and go out wondering for my morning cuppa. This for me would stop me staying again, but if it isn't something that you need then i would recommend this hotel.
