“Great spot, stylish rooms, comfy bed, and they were flexible with my late arrival. The toilets and showers were modern and spotless, with separate ones for extra privacy. They left the key in the door and used a keypad at the entrance. Bunk beds had curtains at the bottom but open tops. Staff were friendly, gave me a map and a plug adapter for free. Breakfast was cosy with a good range of options. The common area was big enough for laptop work and there was outdoor seating. The bottom bunks had curtains for privacy. It felt welcoming, like being with family.”
