lovely room fudge treat radio playing squeaky bed frame slanted wall difficult movement
The room was really lovely and cosy. Fudge was left on arrival, a nice touch. There was also a radio that played as we entered the room.
Room five should have a different bed frame. It made it very difficult to move because the walls slanted. The bed frame was squeaky.

Amazing Stay!
fuss free experience modern keypad comfy bedroom
the modern keypad locks felt secure. The location is very handy, especially for the train station and Orrest hike. My snug bedroom was comfy and the bathroom was excellent. I am already planning to return here again!
I noticed that the kettle and tray area in my room were quite dusty. I would have liked it to be cleaner, but it wasn't a major issue.
Service
10/10
Communication was excellent , with polite and helpful messages explaining the self check in process. Responses to queries were also very quick. The staff demonstrated great attention to detail.

The whole place was super clean with nice touches. My room offered all the essentials and a great shower. Limited on-site parking was available, though it proved adequate upon arrival.
