“The staff makes this place. More a large house than a hotel, it has a warm, welcoming feel, and the shared facilities are kept clean. A decent night's sleep for the price, though you might hear some street noise.”

Convenient Stay Near Transport

helpful staffconvenient locationcamera-monitored parkinghard pillow
The staff member, walid, was VERY helpful and friendly. he ensured my needs were met, WHICH i appreciated. i also found the location advantageous, with the train station just a short walk away, and shops and pubs nearby. It was quite convenient. the free, camera-monitored parking was a GREAT bonus, providing added security for my vehicle.
The pillows in my room felt rock HARD. I found it difficult to get comfortable. i wish softer pillows were provided for a better night's sleep.
