Great location, great interior, everything working properly, clean & spacious, friendly staff too. The only problem that need to improve is that the water piping room is so noisy that we can’t really sleep well if anyone using water upstairs. Those interested to stay here I suggest to request for rooms further from the water piping room. It will be best if it’s not the noisy pipe: ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Cayo Coco](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cayo-Coco-Hotels.d6348829.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Muthu Balaia Sol](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Balaia-Sol-Holiday-Club.h2335853.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Maximilian](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Prague-Hotels-Hotel-Maximilian.h14886.Hotel-Information) > > [BritanniaHotels Hotels in Whitby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-Britannia-Hotels.0-0-d182692--bBritanniaHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Castle Murray House Boutique B&B](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunkineely-Hotels-Castle-Murray-House-Boutique-Bed-And-Breakfast.h17460921.Hotel-Information) > > [Oxygen Seaside Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santorini-Hotels-Oxygen-Seaside-Hotel.h36096320.Hotel-Information) > > [Pet-Friendly Hotels in Shifnal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shifnal-Hotels-Pet-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d5874-tPetFriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Cabin Rentals Barry](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barry-Cabins.d601592-aaCabins.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [The Kings Arms Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sandwich-Hotels-The-Kings-Arms-Hotel.h12926523.Hotel-Information) > > [Glamping at Truffle Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gretna-Hotels-Truffle-Lodge.h22239606.Hotel-Information) > > [Riverside Hotels in Upper Middle Rhine Valley](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Upper-Middle-Rhine-Valley-Hotels-Riverside-Hotel.0-0-d6289693-triversidehotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in City Centre Dublin](https://www.expedia.co.uk/City-Centre-Dublin-Dublin-Hotels.0-n6176614-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Evian-les-Bains](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Evian-Les-Bains-Hotels.d5884.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Cardiff (CWL) to Auckland (AKL)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/cwl/akl/cardiff-to-auckland) > > [Flights from Southampton (SOU) to Plymouth (PLH)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/sou/plh/southampton-to-plymouth) ### Cars > [Car hire in Kirkintilloch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Kirkintilloch.d182793.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in Munich](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Munich.d179896.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Methoni Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Methoni.d6141791.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Old Harry Rocks](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Old-Harry-Rocks-Swanage.d553248621555874975.Attraction) > > [Lebanon Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lebanon.d98.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Estepona Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Estepona.d5128.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Croke Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Croke-Park-Drumcondra.d6176612.Attraction) ### Holiday Rentals > [Hatfield Holiday Rentals](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hatfield-Holiday-Rentals.d7746.Travel-Guide-HolidayRentals) > > [Sliema Holiday Rentals](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sliema-Holiday-Rentals.d4220.Travel-Guide-HolidayRentals) ### General > [Visit Győr](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gyor.dx5300) > > [Visit New Pathways](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Memphis-New-Pathways.dx553248635976472093) > > [Visit Tepoztlán](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tepoztlan.dx6048997) > > [Visit Preah Sihanouk](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Preah-Sihanouk.dx3000652185)
