La localisation, c’est la seule raison qui m’a fait choisir cet hôtel car tout proche de l’arrêt de bus et arrivée tardive.

Hôtel qui fait vraiment délabré bien que je n’étais pas surprise vu les commentaires. Les lits des dortoirs sans rideau, qui grincent dès qu’on bouge un orteil et où on se croirait dans Space mountain à chaque fois que la voisine du dessous se tourne. Moisissures aux murs/plafond mais salle de bain propre malgré tout. La cuisine était terrible d’un point de vue propreté mais c’est en grande partie du au manque de savoir vivre des voyageurs. Une seule salle de bain dans une chambre pour 6 et pas d’accès à d’autres douches dans le couloir, si vous devez partir le lendemain tôt, prenez votre douche la veille.

Arguably the best budget accommodation in the central city. My go-to for whenever I'm in Wellie, and I'm 63 years old

Nah, all good. Such good value for money. As I said, it's my first go-to for Wellie
