The property provided basic accommodation typical of a hostel.

Very welcoming host. Cosy and comfortable. Only problem we encountered was that breakfast we ordered did not appear at the specified time and we had to leave with a minimal provision for the money. ##### Neil Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Iain 19 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Nice building and good shared apace, but be prepar My booked room was sold to another couple, so don't be taken in by the one really good room on sale, and spposedly booked for you.. or be prepared to walk away and find somewhere else if they aren't providing what you are paying for! ##### Iain Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lisa-Gry 30 Jan 2024 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Fint sted med god service fra de unge medarbejdere Vi blev meget vel modtaget af to unge medarbejdere, som var meget imødekommende og venlige under hele vores ophold. Man kan tilkøbe en fin morgenmad. Stedet er hyggeligt, men der bliver varmt på værelserne, når temperaturen er mere en 20 grader. De unge mænd som arbejdede der, var søde at låne os en fan. Det ligger lidt væk fra byen, og man skal op af en seriøs bakke, for at komme ind til centrum. Når man ikke må smide toiletpapir i toilettet, ville det være rart, hvis skraldespanden på badeværelset bliver tømt dagligt, hvilket desværre ikke var tilfældet. Fint til prisen, men man skal have fysik til at gå på stejl bakke, når man skal ind til byen. ##### Lisa-Gry Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Adolfo 5 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Adolfo Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels near King's College London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kings-College-London-Hotels.0-l6145135-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Yatton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yatton-Hotels.d6050292.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Ashford International Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashford-Hotels-Ashford-International-Hotel.h527123.Hotel-Information) > > [The Oberoi Vanyavilas Wildlife Resort, Ranthambhore](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sawai-Madhopur-Hotels-The-Oberoi-Vanyavilas-Wildlife-Resort.h807537.Hotel-Information) > > [BLUESEA Gran Cervantes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torremolinos-Hotels-Gran-Cervantes-By-Blue-Sea.h11274.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Canterbury](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Canterbury-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Canterbury.h66541221.Hotel-Information) > > [Atlas Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Atlas-Studios.h9807273.Hotel-Information) > > [Hermitage Hotel Prague](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Prague-Hotels-Hermitage-Hotel-Prague.h2434356.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Desertica](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Pedro-De-Atacama-Hotels-Hotel-Desertica.h27744583.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Residence Ulivi e Palme](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cagliari-Hotels-Hotel-Residence-Ulivi-E-Palme.h2533272.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Ayr Racecourse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ayr-Racecourse-Hotels.0-l6274371-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Ecocamp Patagonia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torres-Del-Paine-Hotels-Ecocamp-Patagonia.h4530900.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Los Angeles](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels.d178280.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Cupar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cupar-Hotels.d11242.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Konkashken Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torres-Del-Paine-Hotels-Konkashken-Lodge.h71773639.Hotel-Information) > > [Gay-Friendly Hotels in Algarve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Algarve-Hotels-Gay-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d182215-tGayFriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from George Town (GCM) to Parañaque (MNL)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/gcm/mnl/george-town-to-manila) > > [Philippine Airlines](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Philippine-Airlines-Flights.cPR.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from South Bend (SBN) to Londonderry (MHT)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/sbn/mht/south-bend-to-manchester) > > [Flights from Seawell (BGI) to Nassau (NAS)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bgi/nas/bridgetown-to-nassau) > > [Flights from Lytham St. Anne's (BLK) to London (LCY)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/blk/lcy/blackpool-to-london) ### Activities ### Packages > [Alfama Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alfama.d179499.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Azores](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/theme-holidays/all-inclusive-holidays/6048267/Azores) ### General > [Visit Malaysia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malaysia.dx108) ---
