The single room was perfect for my couple of nights. they were very flexible when i needed to change my dates. It was very welcome. the room itself was teeny tiny, but good value. for accommodation, it's a perfect stay. but the room lacked space
the room's decor seemed dated.

Excellent Stay Near the City Center
ideal location local shops spacious room great shower
I appreciated the location. It was away from busy tourist spots, yet walking distance. Buses passed frequently. Local shops, pubs, and restaurants satisfied my dining needs. The single room provided enough space for luggage and movement. The shower had great water pressure.
The room felt a little dated. The wardrobe door looked like it needed repair. The furniture seemed like it could use an update.
Dining

Numerous local pubs provided dining choices. Restaurants offer varied cuisines. Convenience stores close by had essentials. I found many options within a short walk.
