Management is not kind and understandable!!!I had a booking from 08 Oct to 10 Oct which was paid a month ago and I had to cancel the booking due to a genuine medical condition. Myself cancelled the booking on 5 Oct evening itself. Sent couple of messages to the property to seek refund as I got refunds from other two hotels even the booking was non refundable.The hotel simply declined the request !!! Same was confirmed by Booking.comMyself emailed with all details and requested for refund and I literally begged them for the money to consider on a humanitarian basis but they don’t even care. I told them what is the medical condition but no use. They have a business mind not a kind one. Sad !!!

Woeful. Room smelled of stale smoke and our bathroom was two doors down. Community fridge was sealed with a chair and was almost working on keeping the goods cool.

Yes it's a hostel, but for the price it's not worth it. Promised washing machine for guest use is no longer available. Check in was easy enough, location is ok, but overall it's kind of a dumpy place with uncomfortable beds. Fine for one night but I think it's over priced.

A short stay which was functional, no extras as it has been a room with ensuite bathroom which was very simple, type Hostel. Mattress ok for a night, not comfy for longer stay. The fact that the laundry room was next to our bedroom No.1 made it not better, as we had all the machine noise washing and drying all the night hearing it clear and loud in the bedroom! Check out at 10am, which was easy for us.

It is a self check-in hostel, with 6 independent rooms and shared kitchen. We got room 4, which is a really nice room with 4 beds and a big bath tub. It is very suitable for a couple and family.

The owner/manager of this establishment really needs to reconsider their suitability for the role. The standards of hygiene are awful. The kitchen fridge was full of out of date food as where some of the cupboards. …

Beds and floors loud, surrounding house loud, you could hear everything of every other guest. Shower head was clogged, tried to go everywhere at once and didn't succeed too well in either direction. Not enough toilet paper. Just one towel per person, smelled old and moldy.I found a penny under the drawer cabinet, so real cleaning isn't a priority for them.Kitchen: sticky floors and surfaces, stinky fridge (leftovers from former guests?), we had to deep clean everything we wanted to use (for dinner on the first evening and breakfast every morning); no unused sponges or dishcloths, no clean drying towels. Didn't see a coffee machine, just a few water cookers.Around the house: parking was ok. "Garden" was a dump, garden shed was a dump (not figure of speech, there were old discarded furniture and lumber pieces and litter. Not possible to let children play there anywhere).Can't recommend. At all.

DON’T GO HERE!!!!The Hostel is located on what looks like a junk yard. All around the building are old furniture, garbage bags and old toys.The rooms are absolutely disgusting. When we entered our room an intensive smell of urin nearly knocked us of our feet. As if that wasn‘t enough, the toilet didn‘t flush properly, the bed is squeaky, dirty and potentially full of bed bugs. The sofa was dirty and the likely source of the urin smell. The windows didn‘t close or open properly and one could probably open it from the outside with ease. The door didn‘t lock fully and really didn‘t feel safe.After 5 minutes we wanted to complain, but there wasn‘t a soul to whom we could talk to. So we left this disguting and rotten place as quick as we came.After contacting the Hostel about our "stay", they didn‘t even bother to answer. Just horrible.This is a huge scam, don‘t waste your money and rather spend it to stay at another Hotel, BnB or AirBnB. Don‘t be as stupid as I was and trust the good reviews, they don‘t tell the truth.

This was a nice place to stay a few nights with my young family. ||Although it is a short drive from town and the first glance was not inspiring I had a great stay here. …
