Great location out of the city but easy to get everywhere with the bus stop very close.

It was a place to lay our heads and location was good. But the place needs some serious upkeep. The ceiling was leaking terribly at the windows. The mini fridge didn’t work. The carpet wasn’t down at the bathroom door so there were rusty screws that could have been stepped on. Not good.

Not a great location, we arrived and there was no one to let us into the property, they let us in eventually but no staff to be seen for the entire time we stayed there, also very strange and unpleasant odour in the room, old property but clean enough I suppose

This was a terrible experience from start to finish. The property was not maintained to an acceptable standard. The bed sheets did not appear to be clean when we arrived, the bathroom had a persistent leak from the top and the carpets throughout the property were dirty and clearly in need of a deep clean. Cleanliness is one of the most basic expectations when booking accommodation, and unfortunately this property fell well short. The maintenance issues and overall condition of the apartment significantly impacted our stay. I would not stay here again and wouldn’t recommend anyone to stay here.

The staff was very helpful but not around much, you could contact them through a WhatsApp number. My room didn’t have a private bathroom, but it had a kettle, a mini fridge and a sink, so it was comfortable. The bed was lumpy making it a bit hard to sleep, and the window didn’t open more than four fingers, so it got very hot inside the room. Bedding and towels were very clean, but the overall state of the guest house was dated and I would argue neglected. The shared bathrooms were not as bad as I thought, I didn’t have to wait or ran into other guests while using them. The shower was clean, but had signs of mold on the corners and the bathroom with the shower looked like it hadn’t been updated or maintained in quite a few years. The location is amazing, with lots of busses stopping right in front, both towards and from the city center. There’s cafes and 24/7 convenience store on the next block, so it’s easy to grab food and a snack even if the guest house itself doesn’t have a kitchen or breakfast service. Overall, I think it was a nice stay for the price, the cheapest private bedroom close to the city center. The property could definitely improve with a loving hand and a deep clean, so it frustrates me that such simple measures are not being done.

La chambre était mal ventilée, le frigo ne fonctionnait pas, la toilette faisait un bruit infernal… on a tenté de rejoindre quelques fois la réception, mais il n’y avait jamais personne. C’est proche du centre ville et l’autobus passe sur le coin, il y a un stationnement difficile à manœuvrer, mais il est inclus.

Clean rooms! Highly recommend!

The room was not at all as pictured,. It was more run down and it didn’t look clean. The rug had not been vacuumed, and there was a large area rug on top of wall to wall carpeting, which made me wonder what the heck was under that but I was too scared to lift it and see. We did not stay you left immediately and found someplace else to go.

The couple running this place is truly so sweet and kind so it was difficult to make this review, but I thought this place was dirty and a bit of a nightmare for one reason in particular. I booked for 2 nights after staying in really nice BnBs and at a friend's, so I was looking for something a little lower in price and this was not worth it. I thought of booking a hostel but I had a lot of stuff after visiting for a wedding and this seemed like a better fit. The bed was comfortable and the location was good, but I was there during the heat wave and it was hot. The building is outdated and that would have been fine but it was dirty. The doors were loud and slammed so if someone got in the early hours I would wake right up. Which I could handle, I just thought I would note. Worth mentioning, the towels were stained and there was blood on one of the walls (lol). The fridge was a bonus in the room, but that too was dirty. Now to the nightmare. I called my sister to miserate and I half-heartedly said "I wish I had some tissue, there is no tissue in this place." Because I was in the room next to the people running it, I guess they heard me, and when I was gone to the bathroom, they must've unlocked my door and put a roll of toilet paper in there. Now, how am I positive it wasn't there before? I took photos of the place to send to my sister just beforehand and the toilet paper was not in the picture! Needless to say that freaked me out as a female solo traveller.

The smallest bathroom ever with only a bath towel.
