The garden was very peaceful. The host responded quickly to our messages which was appreciated. The room was mostly clean apart from surfaces in the bedroom being quite dusty. Small changes could be made to make the room more convenient e.g a storage unit in the bathroom to place our things or hooks on the back of doors to hang jackets. Mostly quiet except for other guests being loud during early hours of the morning. Overall, would recommend especially for those looking to stay in a quieter part of the city but still at a walkable distance from the city centre. ##### Sana Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Monisha Nov 29, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities One of the best places I have stayed and it is close to the town centre as well within walkable distance with easy accessibility to all shops and restaurants. The room particularly was clean and warm with all amenities needed to cook. There was Alps a pound which was even comfortable to dine and watch television. Overall I am very much happy with the room and place. I would highly recommend this.Thank you very much. ##### Monisha Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Darren Mar 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service #### No Heat The room was nice and clean but there was no heat apart from a small space heater that barely made a difference.

Dead bird outside the stairs that had been there for a while, dusty room with a sock from a previous guest, small pillows, and uncomfortable beds. Not recommended unless location is a top priority. Inspect room carefully upon arrival and consider other options. ##### Carolina Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Andrew May 23, 2024 The room is big but the shower is dirty and the towels are horrendous, really old grey ans smelly.

Noise comes through walls and bathrooms are not ensuite. Trade off with condition and privacy for kitchen and washing machine. Close to hire car. Walk to sites or transport. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Emily Apr 4, 2026 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities We were in the ‘Moroccan’ room. Photos for this property (or at least our room) are definitely outdated and stylised. Great location and it was fine enough we had a roof over our head and the amenities worked in most cases, but there was much to be desired in the rundown room. Only one towel per person and have to make it last for the whole time you’re there, no bath mat so we had to use our clothes in order to not track water everywhere after a shower (the linoleum floor bubbling in places possibly from this), sometimes a sewage smell coming from the bathroom. Bed linens not clean or at the very least old, super lumpy pillows. The door to the room did not feel secure at all as it rattled with the smallest of movement, whole room and furniture was just rickety if anything. Despite signs up everywhere saying be quiet after 10pm, it was still quite loud as there was no soundproofing at all between the room and outside and into the hallway - not necessary the fault of the property owner if it’s an old property and relying on other guests to have manners but worth noted as our room was directly next to the front door. Only one small bin in the bathroom and we were required to change out the bin which is fine but there was no extra bin liners which they specified there was. Owner who texted us the info to check in was nice and good communication about the passcodes and rules required. ![Photos do not match what is online. VERY bare basics of which is fine for what it is but it is not what the stylised photos show - plus it looks different with different lights not existing in this room etc ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f9f66b8f-9c4a-44b6-9c0f-316fd58deda1-1775320760375.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![All furniture felt rickety and were peeling and wobbly](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/fc36dd26-8b89-4a35-83b5-272b99337601-1775320780696.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![No extra lighting except the big light - the photos on the listing show down lights in this little crevice so maybe we just got the ‘bad’ version of this room? ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/87f9d0f1-6339-469a-98c2-246a401b124e-1775320808621.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Scuffs and marks everywhere which is fine but just really shows the age of the room.
