Property appears to be a rental for the summer months. Its a school dormitory but very quiet and safe. Washer and dryer at location for small cost. Room was small but comfy for what we needed. Bathroom was inside the room.

This place exceeded my expectations! The room is quite small (which is to be expected for a budget stay), but there was plenty of storage space. Our room was clean upon arrival and stocked with towels and toiletries. Rooms are cleaned every 3 days, but you can request additional towels and toiletries whenever. I definitely recommend this place!

Sistemazione ideale nei pressi della centralissima Eyre Square, della stazione ferroviaria e dei bus e di un comodo parcheggio. Struttura ben fatta e dotata di ogni comfort e facilities. Consigliabilissimo

A very comfortable hotel. The beds are quite small, but that’s the only complaint. Extremely reasonable rates. A nice garden courtyard. Friendly staff. Great location.

Staff friendly, quick check-in, small room but clean and modern, good shower, lots of storage for luggage, air conditioning, great location for the city or bus and train station for day trips. Ideal as a base for a short trip or onward journey.

Dorm apartments converted to hotel rooms for the summer made it possible for our young adult kids to have some privacy on vacation. Rooms were small but functional. Not fancy but a decent place to stay

The staff who work there are very sweet. The bedrooms themselves are very basic but there is laundry on the premises and it’s very walkable. Pay extra for parking but you get a discount. Not luxurious but gets the job done for a fair price.

I enjoyed my stay. The staff were helpful and friendly. The area was convenient and safe. The bed was more comfortable than I had expected. Wifi was excellent. Laundry facilities were easy to use. I knew going in that this was a student dorm turned hotel for the summer. The website FAQ stated it was not air conditioned. I do wish they had provided face cloths and refreshed the room more often, but overall great stay.

The hotel was lovely really enjoyed my stay however it was very hot in the building and the thermostat didn’t lower the temperature in my room, I would still recommend this hotel and it was a very enjoyable stay besides the heat

It was safe, clean and the reception staff was nice. Good location and close/within walking distance to many attractions. However, the rooms were unbearably hot. The reception area had air conditioning but the room only had heat. They provided a desk fan but it was so hot in the room we could not sleep. There also was no tv in the room and no restaurant or drink area only a vending machine. If you need a minimal place to stay in the winter with no frills this is good. It is basically a dorm room without air.

Budget friendly , easy location walking distance from the airport! Chrissy at the check in desk was lovely. Only negative was no A/C and the room was warm. They have fans I just didn’t think I would need one and should have. Wish they had an option for early check in!

Noisy seagulls were a bit of a drag but otherwise it was a decent place to stay! Also, we did ask them to change our bed sheets, but they just made the bed and left the same sheets. Otherwise though, staff was kind to us and we were able to sleep!
