The owner was very helpful, and met us at the property, even though we were early. He responded well when we messaged him. The room was nothing fancy, but good value for the money. The main issue we had was location. It was right across the street from a bar, and since our room was right beside the street, it was a bit noisy outside and in as well, till things calmed down.

Even though during booking there was statement that room has private bathroom, toilet was on the second floor (room on the 1) and shower in opposite from the room part of the first floor, room was cold and not spotlessly clean, it's noisy every time when someone going down and up stairs.

For the price point of the property you have to go in with certain expectations, I had these expectations altered during my stay, the room was clean, the bed was comfy and the host was very kind and helpful. I specifically stayed in the Double Room with King Bed and ensuite and cant fault anything.

Aside from a gross shower curtain, the place was clean and staff were friendly. The room was pretty spacious, although the bed was a little uncomfortable. Overall, the price was right and the location was great!

Decent place to stay for a night or two. Great price. Great location with bus stops near by and walking distance from the train station. Easy check in and check out. It’s slightly annoying you have to walk through a corridor to get to the toilet/bathroom & the facilities could be cleaner.
