Nice tidy unit. All we needed. Gas hob didn't work in the communal kitchen so we used the bbq instead.

Room stunk all the reviews say the same. Toilet plumbing was hissing constantly had to turn tap on and off every use. Receptionist was the rudest receptionist I have ever meet. DO NOT STAY HERE.

Decent back packer style property but a little far out of town and reliance on buses required

Cabinet above bathroom basin is in the road when trying to use the basin to wash your face or clean your teeth. Suggest cabinet is tilted higher or a shorter one is fitter with greater space above the basin. We could not operate the bench top hot plates and no instructions were provided. Hot water dribbled out of taps and showers.
