Big mistake, got sent e mail with combination number to be put in to obtain access to room from a small box which was hard to read. Then went through front door only to be imformed i needed a combination password to enter. VERY STRESSFUL IN DARKNESS. As i was doing this three drunk men, smoking a cannabis, also appeared saying one of them had booked a room but could not work out how to get in. Told them to ring the hotel number, again very stressful as it was obvious these rough looking men had not been vetted and no member of staff was around. At night the Riverside area is known to be full of dangerous looking skeazy characters, not a place for any respectable woman (or man) who wants to feel safe. The place itself was clean and well maintained but very eerie and somewhat depressing. It actually got worse, the double room had no sink therefore no water, shower or toilet. They were down a long flight of stairs which was a great inconvenience. Having no running water in the room was a bit of a torture. Was there for two days this week £88! The owners seem to run it with barely any direct human contact when entering. Nice building but the room with no water was like being in solitary confinement. Just back from Benidorm a few days earlier stayed in several hotels at much the same price, but they had running water and made the room here seem like a prison cell. Never again,for same price you can get a good room nearby ##### Colin Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Valerijs Aug 30, 2024 Liked: Amenities Room it self was ok. I would say average. In regards bathroom was dirty, I had to clean first before use it. In regards breakfast, not enough options. Only on first morning breakfast was great. Food kept replenished. Then at rest of the days of my stay with the family, breakfast was very limited. Never was replenished. I don’t recommend include breakfast when you stay. Even during the evening would not able to get cup of coffee. Owner kept locking coffee machine every time. Only good about this stay, wi-fi connection was great and tv options were phenomenal had absolutely everything what you want. However when you on holiday you trying always be outside to explore, Many thanks Regards Wolf ##### Valerijs Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### andie Mar 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service #### an unexpected stay First the bad bits-its past history as an hostel clearly shows, especially when you notice staff only inhabit the property, thrice daily before leaving, causing mess to linger for upto six hours. As a matter of fact, the owners are only seen during breakfast for a short period, which can be frustrating if something goes wrong, like it did with me and you have no way of contacting them; There should be, in my experience of traveling, somebody knowledgeable enough on hand, for those like me, who require additional support or prefer analogue methods. Certain things could do with a bit of updating to post covid standards, not to mention, instructions regarding breakfast and other things made more clearer, but i have moaned enough, to make my review unbalanced, so I'll move on to the positives. Despite the shady, dreary, late 00's décor, I cant fault how secure and modern the building is, For an accommodation advertised as an B&B, i wasn't expecting beautiful views, self service and all streaming services included with the price; If i had more money, time and energy, it would have been no problem to stay the entirety simply in this hybrid stay. what staff i did mange to find, were a mixture of friendly, helpful and oppositely, hard to speak with, due to language barriers. overall, i will be wanting to come back later in the year for a do-over, which will be the first time since i was eleven, that i've made a return visit to a property ##### andie Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels.d4127.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Okotoks](https://www.expedia.ca/Okotoks-Hotels.d603098.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Motels Newfoundland and Labrador](https://www.expedia.ca/Newfoundland-And-Labrador-Motels.d11167-aaMotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotel Feng, BW Signature Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Parksville-Hotels-Hotel-Feng.h12198.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Cardiff City Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Cardiff-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Cardiff-City-Centre.h526111.Hotel-Information) > > [Bloom Mississauga, Tapestry Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Bloom-Mississauga.h74035472.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Waterfront](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels-Fairmont-Waterfront.h15293.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel Cardiff](https://www.expedia.ca/Cardiff-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel-Cardiff.h2609745.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Riviera Nayarit, An All-Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Vallarta-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-Marriott-Riviera-Nayarit.h70035775.Hotel-Information) > > [Spa Hotels in London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Spa-Hotel.0-0-d4127-tSpaHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Delhi (DEL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/del/toronto-to-delhi) > > [flights from yea all airports airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/yea/flights-from-yea-all-airports-airport) > > [Flights from Barcelona (BCN) to Rome (FCO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/bcn/fco/barcelona-to-rome) > > [Flights from Windsor (YQG) to Dieppe (YQM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqg/yqm/windsor-to-moncton) > > [Flights from Pierre Elliott Trudeau Intl. to RIO-All Airports](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/rio/montreal-to-rio-de-janeiro) > > [Swoop Goffs (YHZ) to Hamilton (YHM) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/swoop-from-stanfield-intl-to-john-c-munro-hamilton-intl/wo/yhz/yhm) > > [Air Canada](https://www.expedia.ca/Air-Canada-Flights.cAC.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Edmonton (YEG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yeg/toronto-to-edmonton) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Kelowna (YLW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/ylw/calgary-to-kelowna) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Singapore (SIN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/sin/winnipeg-to-singapore) > > [Flights from Pearson Intl. to TYO-All Airports](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/tyo/toronto-to-tokyo) ### Cars > [Convertible Car Rentals in Winnipeg](https://www.expedia.ca/Convertible-Car-Rentals-In-Winnipeg.d6141041-tConvertible.Car-Rental-Guide-Class) > > [Enterprise Car Rentals In Spruce Grove](https://www.expedia.ca/Enterprise-Car-Rentals-In-Spruce-Grove.d181746-c15.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Cruise > [Cruises from Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Cruises-from-Vancouver.d178315.Cruise-Departure-Port) ### Packages > [Mexico](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/117/Mexico) > > [Ireland](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/84/Ireland) > > [Downtown Ottawa Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-Ottawa.d6057857.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Cabo San Lucas Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Cabo-San-Lucas.d180032.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [CN Tower](https://www.expedia.ca/CN-Tower-Downtown-Toronto.d503147.Vacation-Attraction)
