Excellent comfortable and warm, o ly issue for me was that taxi took me to the other building over a mile away and I had to walk to it which took me 40 minutes but comfortable when I got there would probably prefer to stay closer to the town or station if I return room was comfy though

Not so great, AirBnB. The bathroom needs to be refurbished to be a bit modern. The rug in the hallway needs some cleaning to get rid of the moldy smell

It's a cheap budget sleeper but my idea of budget usually includes some decent pillows and fresh bedding neither of which was present . There was a Spanish guest in the room above who started his rather loud vocabulary at 9pm and was still going at 03.30am either a massive argument or watching football I'm unsure which but it made me realise there's no sound barrier between rooms so I didn't sleep.Would I visit again? No unfortunately

For the low price we paid, this is perfectly fine.Great self check-in and really generous amounts of tea/milk/sugar bags and equipment (Kettle, microwave, fridge, hairdryer, fan…).We had enough room and a midly-sized bathroom with a shower.But there were some flaws too. Firstly, all the power outlets were at the opposite of the bed. And if you are a person that can’t sleep with noise, you’d have to turn off the fridge. The litte fan in there was really annoying.Also, you can hear every door and every step. The building isn’t very good isolated.And one thing that was really annoying too was the fact that the toilet paper was very thin. I only noticed that after I took a dump. Please remember to bring your own.All in all a nice place to stay for a night. 4/5.

Very good value stop over. Booked on the day for an emergency visit. Martin was very helpful with an excellent practical guide to accessing the space. Great to have a fridge. Compact.

The rooms looked very used, the only newly looking room was the bathroom. Getting some good sleep was really hard since you could hear everything and everyone (coughing taking a shower) even with earplugs.
