"Ok"

5.0

Convenient central location

Blinds were not fitted properly so let lots of light in. Bathroom light didn’t always work. Room cannot be locked internally. Room had a musty smell and was only cleaned once during my stay.

"für abgehärtete Backpacker wahrscheinlich eine gute Wahl - abgesehen vom Preis."

3.0

sehr zentrale und trotzdem relativ ruhige Lage, freundliches Personal, Wasser und Kaffee/ Tee kostenlos im Zimmer

Die Einrichtung und die Wände, Teppichböden etc. sind alt, beschädigt, vor allem aber schmutzig. Insbesondere Bett und Bodenbeläge müssen einfach unbedingt erneuert werden.

"Great place!"

8.0

The property was very cozy and is located in an excellent area, just a few minutes away from the Radcliffe camera. Bed was really comfortable, place was clean!

The shower head was a little awkward and the base was unusually squeaky.

"Was v happy despite the water!"

7.0

Location was perfect.

No breakfast provided, not even a croissant and since tap was definitely not drinkable (had to throw tea away) we should have been told so we could buy some. The 2 small bottles provided were not enough.
