central location with comfortable rooms

nice room easy check-in prompt communication

the room was very nice it belied the rather scruffy exterior and street. self check in was easy and i did not have to carry a key with me. the hosts were very prompt with their communications and clear in their instructions on how to find the hotel and how to access it.

there was no staff to contact if anything went wrong the whole thing was very impersonal. the shower head needs fixing.

Location

the car park was a couple of minutes away on foot. the ferry to innis mor and the town were a very brief walking distance. the location is quite calm and very walkable.

Dining

8/10

a decent stay

strong shower pressure complimentary tea fresh towels missing elevator nonexistent luggage area distant train station

the shower pressure was strong. complimentary tea, coffee, and water were in the room. towels were replenished daily.

the room lacked an elevator so carrying heavy bags to the upper floors was difficult. there was no left luggage area. i had to walk a while to leave my bags at the train station.
