Room is small and fellow guests can be noisy. However the shared kitchen is excellent fully equipped and they also provide daily free vegetable soup. Location is convenient.

The room was very small with little room to maneuver bags and fully extend them open. The shared bathrooms leave something to be desired and could use a bit more cleaning. Convenient location to everything in town.

Although the room was small, it was well equipped with everything we needed. The common kitchen provided all the utensils, making it convenient for us to prepare meals. The staff were friendly and accommodating, and the check-in process was smooth even though we arrived late. Overall, a comfortable stay

Friendly staff, very well-equipped kitchen and good communal facilities. My only complaint is that the en-suite sink was so small, and with a poorly positioned shelf above, that there wasn’t enough room to brush my teeth or wash my hands!

Room was tight but comfortable. We came in late after an all-day excursion. They gave us to muffins and a delicious lentil veggie stew, which was all we needed before turning in. The clean, busy dining area and kitchen were well equipped with a great coffee machine that made delicios hot java!
