“Comfortable loved the bunks”
The spot was easy to get to and the town feels walkable; the bar next door had cheap drinks. The only downside was the many stairs and the drunken patrons.

The location was good, something I didn't realize before; I could have loaded the photos. The shared kitchen was very noisy because of a group of strangers celebrating, so we had to leave and eat in our small room. The cleaners made a lot of noise among themselves. The toilet was uncomfortable because I couldn’t sit properly due to the toilet roller. I didn’t get the room I booked, and when I complained the desk attendant was twisting it.

There were two empty boxes of long whites under the bed and on top of the bunk bed, and ants were under the beds.

The staff were friendly. The location was perfect and close to everything in town. The room was awesome and the bed very comfortable. Friday and Saturday nights were a bit noisy because of the pubs below.

I was convinced by the view. The only issue was walking up the stairs.
