Front lounge is quite convivial, two kitchens, comfortable beds. Excellent location, next to coffee shop, close to town and Victorian area. Building is a little tired.

街の中心部に近く、無料駐車場🅿️があったこと。部屋に延長コードがあったこと

部屋が狭く、フロアはじゅうたんでしたが、たくさんのゴミがあった点、1番上のベッドのカバーは毎回洗われてない様子があった。キッチンがあまりきれいではなかった点。スタッフが常駐していない。＃@@#&

With bunk beds if one person moved, the other one was woken up by that. Unavoidable really.

Excellent location.

There were some items from previous days left behind the door in the shower room! Old used razors and cotton budd. Yuk!
