A shared lounge area provides a useful space, complete with a coffee machine and fridge, while a supermarket and pub are conveniently located nearby, making self-catering easy for those who prefer it, though some guests have found the rooms rather small.

central stay

electronic skylighthigh quality featuresemailed pinphone support
finding the entrance was a bit of a treasure hunt, tucked away down an alley. i located my room using the emailed pin number. the room itself had high quality features. a skylight operated electronically, really nice, and i liked that i could adjust the blinds.
the phone support wasn't available between 8pm and 10am. none of the provided phone numbers, email addresses, or live chat options worked. i needed assistance during those hours and couldn't get it. this lack of support was difficult.

The location is central. The room had nice furnishings and a comfy bed. I got a great price compared to others nearby. The self-check-in process was easy.
The staff was hard to reach. There was no change of linens. I am not sure they knew I was there. A lightbulb was missing in the toilet. The moulding around the light socket was also missing.

The room was nice furnished. The bed was very comfy and i slept well. The shower was good and large towels was provided. The location allowed for very easy on foot travel to main locations.
The entrance is literally in the side doorway of a shop, so you half have to enter their entrance 1st.
