Great accomodation if you are just looking for a bed for the night in an ideal location to town! Tried to check in early, but couldn’t until 2pm which was fine. Stuff were a bit flustered and weren’t all that welcoming. However, good stay overall

The room size, bed and shower were great. However the other guests were so incredibly loud we couldn’t sleep. I let the woman on reception know and her response was “oh yeah that happens a lot”. Disappointing. I wouldn’t booked here again if it wasn’t for the noise.
