Faint smell of urin, took them a day to refill paper to dry your hands, left dirty laundry in the middle of the floor in our room. But the staff was nice and we enjoyed the location so would recommend

Pretty overpriced for the quality of service and the bare minimum of cleanliness you get. Staff seemed very annoyed to be working the counter as well. It’s alright if you’re on a budget and have nowhere else to go, as I have seen worse. But I’ve definitely also seen better!

It may depend on where your room is situated, but even with earplugs in and the window shut, could you feel the bass and hear some music every now and then from the Three Sister pub across the road that has music playing until 3am most nights. The location is great for all the big tourist attractions, but tucked enough away that it’s not very crowded. The bathrooms, not clearly advertised if they were mixed or not, smelt a bit like fish? And very giving campground vibes. You get what you pay for
