+Good-very warm which would be great in winter but uncomfortable in the warm weather. Fortunately I had brought my fan as there was no way to cool the room-bathroom was clean and surprisingly spacious. The kettle provided could have done with a good clean and descaling so I avoided using it. Short walk from the station- also has good transport links. Easy check in process with helpful staff.

“Very tired property”
+It’s just a collection of odd rooms in a house. Furnished rather poorly it’s not the sort of place you would want to spend all day sheltering from the rain, even if the facilities were there to do so. Very very basic room but well cleaned.

+Safe, quiet location. Moisture issue in the bathroom/shower (mild mold). Great water pressure, though. Clean, but very loudly creaky bed. TV was a non-starter. Easy to get everywhere.

“Excellent value for money”
+I recently had a 4 night stay. Superb location with easy access to buses and trams into the city. Upon arrival i was greeted by a lovely, helpful lady. (Having waited less then 2 mins after ringing the bell). I stayed in the single ensuite room. The only negatives are...it's a small room, no wardobe or anywhere to hang clothes. Although i compromised and used hangers on a picture rail. The ensuite bathroom takes up most of the room space. However, the ensuite was great. Powerful and hot. I found the room too hot most days but then i had brought a travel fan (which helped!) and you can only slightly open the window. I got used to the room being small but if you're a solo traveller who likes your space, maybe this isn't the room for you. All in all i had a very quiet and peaceful stay. I couldn't hear any noise as people have reported. (I was on the ground floor) no plumbing effects either of showers or toilets being flushed etc. As people have previously said this is a no frills guest house. I would happily stay here again for the location and the price and the friendly staff

+This place had good ratings when I found it in January so was disappointed with the standard of the classic double room for a 3 night stay. The room had a low ceiling so getting around the bed was difficult, the furniture was dated and looked homemade from the 70’s. Tired furnishings. The bathroom drain smelled so had to ask for it to be bleached. The only thing in favour of this accommodation was its proximity to the tram which was a 5 minute walk. Also the landlady gave us advice on places to eat nearby which was useful. I suppose you get what you pay for but would not return or recommend.
