Location was good but stay was okay
6.0Location of guest house is in heart of city. Everything is nearby. Guesthouse was clean and as per description but there is no front desk and no one answer your call from night 9 pm to morning 10 pm even if you get into emergency or get stuck outside of guest house. There were couple of false advertisement like free parking and laundry. They didn’t specify that Free parking is available on street for a certain period and laundry is paid for around $25. I wish they have better communication way during night as tourist will come from another country or another city . They look forward for some assistance if they need it. I called them multiple times during for some minor assistance but no one answered until 10:30 am next morning .

10.0Clean, central, good value
Guest review
8.0It was very well set up with a full and large kitchen / dining room for guests to prepare their own food. It was more like a hostel than a hotel. One shared bathroom per floor worked fairly well. Shame there was not a separate toilet tho. Room was neat snd well decorated bed and bedding was amazingly comfortable . Narrow stairs up to bedrooms and down to kitchen were challenging for a 70 plus body . My early checkin was accommodated at no extra charge
Guest review
2.0While it was disclosed that there is no front desk, the property owner committed to send entry code and instructions for self check in prior to arrival. Despite email requests and Expedia intervention, that never happened and we had to find our way in with another couple who had the code. Not communicating at all is unacceptable as it leaves travelers stranded and unable to get into their room. Once we got into our room, there were some issues. The baseboard was separated from the wall with a nail sticking out. Next, the doorknob came off when entering the side room. The blinders are bent and wouldn’t go up and down. The pipes in the shower came apart once turned on and required you to reattach pipes while showering and naked. Finally, the beds were so soft that we both sunk into a cavern of foam in the middle of the bed by morning. While we knew this wasn’t the Four Seasons going in, there were just too many things wrong with the checkin process and overall condition of the property to rate it any higher.
Guest review
8.0Centrally located, easy to walk to the centre of town. Despite this, it is remarkably quiet. Clean. Room was very clean and bright. This hostel is located in an older building - the rooms were great, the kitchen and bathrooms need some updating. The bathrooms were a little musty and toilets were coming to the end of their life. Kitchen microwave is old and slow.
Guest review
8.0Oveall good place for our family of 4 with good beds and ammenities. Sound proofing wasnt great as street noise was quite loud. When i tried to use the stovetop the power went out due to a vlown breaker, forcing me to use the shared kitchen vs the private one in our suite (after i found the breaker box and reset it), so that was inconvenient.
