7Verified guest“The bed was comfy, lockers and drawers were handy, showers and toilets were clean, free table tennis and gaming kept us busy, and breakfast had a good spread with a spacious kitchen.”
7Verified guest“Toilets had been recently done up, the kitchen was roomy, and the vibe was calm during the week but lively on weekends. Free breakfast, a blue cat bus stop right nearby, and a cosy, friendly atmosphere. The owners were outgoing and shared event tips. Saturday pizza, Sunday pancakes, and mid-week sausage dinners were a highlight. Met some great people. Rooms were cleaned regularly and kept tidy. Bars, clubs, and transport were all close by. The common area was big with TV and movies, plus free coffee, pool, and table tennis. Towels were available on request, and every bed had a locker and drawer.”
