Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Would score a negative if possible. Seemed like an illegal room, no proper door lock or windows. Was dirty, and sheets were thread bare. Better to pitch a tent in the park, and burn your money to stay warm. Will submit for refund when home.

Exceptionally clean. Plenty of hot water. Has parking and the #3 bus stops outside. It’s hard to find family rooms and this was the best we had wth our 2 teenagers.

Do not waste your money

This felt completely like a scam. Not at all like the photos. Will be requesting a refund. Mould everywhere, can see it and even feel it in the air. Place has not been cleaned and is in desperate need of refurbishment. Please see the photos attached and ask yourself if you will be more or less clean after going into this bathroom. Smoke detector also covered up - perhaps mould spores and detectors were triggering.

Ok for a night or two

Hotel about 15 mins walk from Botanical gardens. Family house that has been converted into rooms. Room 12, X2 single beds at the back in a conservatory, tiny window in room and bathroom. Very little sound proofing in room or from above. Ok for a night or two, but no more.

door was a little too heavy to open but to be kept closed. and bathroom bit too compact for my liking. However, room was very comfortable, easy to approach great and friendly staff over the phone and in lobby. Much appreciated for the bigger tv, as many hotel only give the small and cheap you can fine, so very happy it was big tv.

Liked: Cleanliness
We stayed a few nights but sadly had a few hiccups with the facilities. The door of the shower seemed broken and could never stay shut and the bed was not comfortable. We missing sustainable pillows and springs were almost exposed from the mattress. Unrelated to the owners, the other residents were very loud and constantly exiting close to our unprotected windows all night long.
