totally fab location!

super clean own heating excellent location fun restaurants

I loved how clean everything was! the room even had its own heating, super useful. the city centre was so close. It took me just a few minutes to walk to local stores! lots of restaurants were within a ten-minute walk. Choosing where to eat was fun.

the heater was a tad complicated, and it kept switching off, though! it didn't quite heat the room perfectly. it wasn't a big deal, but something to note!

clean room ensuite bathroom electric radiator non-existent response

the room was clean, i noticed that the room had been recently renovated. it is always lovely to have an ensuite bathroom. i was also able to make myself a cup of tea or coffee.

The main grumble was that when i arrived about 5pm in november it was clear that the heating has not been on for a long time and the whole room was completely freezing. there's a small electric radiator which is not up to the job. i emailed the owner to say it was freezing and their response was non-existent. They did not reply at all.

a pleasant stay!

rainforest shower central location

I loved the rainforest shower in the bathroom! the central location was good too. the price was really good. i especially liked the cleanliness throughout the room. Everything felt very fresh.

the room was quite cold. there was a heater available, but i couldn't leave it on all night. this resulted in some sleepless nights because i kept waking up feeling cold.

Average Stay With Some Issues

The location was alright since it had restaurants nearby.

I found a toenail on the carpet, so cleaning was clearly not their strong suit, it was left by a previous guest. The provided towels were quite small and of low quality. the WiFi barely functioned.
