Great vibe with superb staff

Pros: The place was awesome and the staff could not be more helpful. Such a great vibe in the garden area too of an evening plus this place has full cooking facilities to prepare your own food. Cons: Absolutely nothing to complain about I must say!

Buena ubicación pero déficit en limpieza

Pros: La ubicación, el precio y las zonas comunes. Cons: La limpieza de los baños y de las habitaciones es bastante deficiente. Las camas incómodas y las sábanas viejas y descoloridas. El desayuno bastante triste. Te cobran 5£ por una toalla la cual estuve 4 horas para que me la dieran. El personal poco amable si no eras joven, excepto Lisa que fue muy profesional y amable. El sitio es “por lo que pagas está bien” Una pena de sitio porque cobrando algo más y mejorando las deficiencias sería un sitio increíble.
