Oh my goodness I love this place! The room is clean and inviting. Plenty of room for bag/suitcase storage under the bench. The bathroom is clean and fairly modern. The bed is so comfy and made well. It has a split system unit on the wall which is lovely and cool. I love everything about this room, including the colour scheme! The price is great. I'm disappointed my visit wasn't more than one night!
Very cosy. The only complaint I would have is there's no complimentary shampoo and conditioner. It just means my hair will have a day off from being washed lol The staff are very friendly and helpful
