Wonderful
The room was clean and the staff were very friendly. The shared kitchen facilities were well-supplied and a nice environment overall.

Receptionist (Canadian female from Fergus, ON) was very friendly and helpful. Private bunks with blackout curtains, electrical outlets and nightlights.
Communal showers smelled of mould and mildew. Kitchen was poorly organized and lounge was ill-utilized.

Got to enjoy a packed movie night, everyone was so welcoming! Really enjoyed the amenities of my cozy pod. Cute and lovely kitchen. Pretty walkable location.
I missed the sheet with my name and instructions, so I just went off the message I got for late check in and found the keys but didn’t know which room was mine until I asked around. Little confusing but all sorted.

The vibe was good, and self-check-in really helps for late arrivals like us. Overall, a good experience, simple but works for a night or two.
Instructions about parking aren't clear

Fair
The bed was comfortable and the kitchen and lounge area are good.
The room still smelled of paint after it was only painted a week or so earlier but we were not told about this until check out. The shower was not entirely clean and getting in and out to the bathroom was awkward.

-comfortable cabin beds with some space around

-lockers in room
-bed got your name written on it
-two pillows for more comfort
-lovely garden and outdoor area, ideal for the summer
-music instruments in common area
-common area and kitchen aren't separated and kinda small which causes them to be very noisy and crowded

Good location.
Pity about the stairs. Too hard for me to get my suitcase down but someone helped so that was excellent.

Location was excellent for town especially as it rained all weekend as well.
Room was a little bit dated but clean. Perhaps new carpet. Also coffee and tea provided so maybe small milk portions
Thank you for your information!
