"I kinda knew what l was booking but had never experienced a place like this before. It wasn't for me. I suppose if you are used to shared dormitories this is a huge upgrade, but personally I wasn't very comfortable with the experience. They keep the place nice and tidy though"

"Fantastic location! We only had one night there so I don't have a lot to say. The hotel is clean but older. The water pressure was good. The bed was comfortable but I didn't love the pillows. The bar outside was delightful w the fire pit but make reservations."
