We had a late arrival and an early departure. Staff friendly and efficient and our room large, clean, comfortable and in a quiet location which was perfect for us. Great travel tips from the staff on reception for our onwards journey.

The layout of the building was very interesting. It did not seem like one room after another, the rooms were well separated for more quiet.

Very nice place! A bit far from the bus station when coming as a backpacker. The private room for two was really small and rather expensive ( 100 £ without breakfast) but the location and the common rooms are nice and comfortable. I would have really appreciated a real coffee for breakfast and not the instant one ☕️.I think a coffee machine would be a good investment 😀
