Check in was easy with the 2 staff members that I had touch points with being super friendly and helpful One downside was parking, the closest car park was Blu Radison From 5pm to 10am was £30 ##### Melvin Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katie Sep 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Good value for money given the very central location and it was clean enough. I wouldn’t have wanted to stay any longer because it was so noisy. We could hear everything from the street below all night long. Also a few security concerns given the key used to unlock the main shared door is the same key that opens the key to your bedroom. Theoretically anyone staying there has access to your room with their key. ##### Katie Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jessica Jul 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities The hosts were great! They swapped our room out for a lower level due to us underestimating the stairs and even helped us get one of our suitcases up the stairs. They were super friendly and helped us navigate the town! Good for a simple over night place to sleep. ##### Jessica Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### FABRICE Apr 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Tres bien et bien situé ##### FABRICE Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erica Feb 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location and clean, well organized.
