Room was very clean, location was hard to beat, 5-10 minute walk to anything and everything. We visited during a warm couple of days so the lack of air conditioning was a little tough but bearable.

Very warm inside the building and rooms, little airflow. Quite noisy at night. In a convenient area to the Latin Quarter - within walking distance to many pubs and stores.

Property appears to be a rental for the summer months. Its a school dormitory but very quiet and safe. Washer and dryer at location for small cost. Room was small but comfy for what we needed. Bathroom was inside the room.

Dorm apartments converted to hotel rooms for the summer made it possible for our young adult kids to have some privacy on vacation. Rooms were small but functional. Not fancy but a decent place to stay

The front desk staff at the time of check-in were lovely. They were so kind and welcoming. We would recommend having fans in each room as the temperature was a bit warm.

Noisy seagulls were a bit of a drag but otherwise it was a decent place to stay! Also, we did ask them to change our bed sheets, but they just made the bed and left the same sheets. Otherwise though, staff was kind to us and we were able to sleep!

Great location, close enough to everything. Parking discount was good valuable & staff were really friendly. However, a massive negative was that the room was unbearably hot. Fans were available at reception but made little difference. If they could sort this issue it would be a great place but as it stands, wouldnt stay here again.

The staff who work there are very sweet. The bedrooms themselves are very basic but there is laundry on the premises and it’s very walkable. Pay extra for parking but you get a discount. Not luxurious but gets the job done for a fair price.

The property was okay. A couple of areas could be improved: - it was very difficult to get a hold of the staff via phone - i know the rooms are very basic but a couple of hooks or shelves on the wall would have been nice

Overall not bad. Close to city center, easy to get to parking, quiet and safe. Not great help at the front desk, especially after hours when checking in. Room was fine, but got warm and no ventilation or ability to open window, only a small fan.
