Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests often highlight the convenient location, especially its proximity to bus stops for easy access to Princess Street and the city center, with the Skylink bus to the airport also nearby. The rooms are frequently described as clean and comfortable, and many appreciate the tea and coffee making facilities provided. While some found the beds a bit too firm, the availability of ample wardrobe space and included linen and towels generally contribute to a positive stay.

fantastic accommodation experience!

convenient bus stop useful desk lamp free coffee fresh towels

The bus stop is right outside the house. This made getting around super easy. my room included a desk with a lamp, a make-up mirror, and a kettle. complimentary coffee and tea were provided. So useful. linen and towels were included and changed daily, i'm so happy about this!

the location is not exactly central, it's a short bus ride away, but i would have preferred to be closer to the attractions!

convenient location near bus routes

large bed good pressure

the bus stop is close providing easy access to the city center. i found parking on the street directly in front of the building. the room had a large bed and good water pressure in the shower.

the room lacked some listed extras. i found only one small towel and no hand towel. the provided toilet paper was very thin.

reasonable stay

clean room cute staff luggage space restricted parking basic room limited towel

i was able to drop off my bag before check-in, helpful. the staff seemed nice and cute. my room was clean and included linen and towels. there was enough space for my luggage. a proper desk with a seat was also provided, and i found a kettle with complimentary coffee and tea.

the parking was not on site, contrary to what was advertised. it was just on the street and restricted to four hours during the week. the room was basic. i noticed limited tea facilities and only one small towel.
