The room looks so attractive on the website pictures!

Was a good stay. It’s a 30 minute walk into city center and has great cafes in walking distance. There isn’t a restaurant at the location, but again a good choice of cafes near.

Auto check in was easy.

On a bus route - but about a 10min ride into town - so that’s a down side - £11 taxi each way or £2 bus each time you want to go to town. Place itself is fairly clean and our room was clean and tidy with lovely white sheets and towels. Our room was not en-suite - but had a private bathroom with a key just for us, so was fine.

Great room. Bright and fresh, nicely decorated. Bed was comfortable. Definitely well worth the money. Would highly recommend this property 5*
Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025

4/10

Clean but no personal touch at all - only difficult communications through an intercom when we had questions and difficulty entering the building. Clean and reasonably safe and quiet, but NO space to set anything down or hang anything up. Plus, their listing said they have a restaurant: they used to offer breakfast but don't any more which presented problems for our family.

Spacious, clean, comfortable and quiet. Check-in is collecting keys from a box. There is no reception. I missed having interaction with a human

Lovely and clean, didn’t see staff but key was left in secure lock and had mobile phone number of owner so this wasn’t an issue. We were really pleased with the room, all recently redecorated. 5 min bus ride into main centre or £10 in taxi. Would definitely stay again
