"I stayed here with my family and we had two rooms, each for 3 people. We got placed on the first floor near the access to the pool which was great. Sadly our experience was mixed, partly because one room was beautifully clean whilst the other wasn't - the unclean one; the carpet had crumbs all over it, the bathroom was dirty with toothpaste in the sinks, and the glasses had lipstick on them.

"I was looking for a place, close to the train station - without paying premium prices, for a short one night stay...and I told the young lady as I was leaving, that I would definitely stay there again one day soon...as it fitted the bill, in terms of expectations against price.

"You're above a pub, but right in the city centre, for real cheap. It's highly convenient, clean bathrooms and bedding, but be warned, it's above a pub. Its a bit noisy until late, but that's expected. Can't complain really. We left some headphones and keys behind but they were very kind to ship them back for us! Would recommend if you're in for a couple of nights and just need a bed. Gud price"
