Excellent room. Great location. Lovely ambience and I met nice travellers in the Communal Kitchen.

Lovely West Facing room with afternoon sun. Small but suitable.

  • • I noticed a plastic hook on the Bathroom door had broken of. This is not suitable for a Backpackers. A moulded metal chrome hook is better but you need to put it into the top rail of the door. Hollow Core doors are hollow inside. Tap the top of the door to hear the solid sound. The shower head was OK but awkward. A bit of water ended up on the floor which is not good. Somebody did a shambolic repair of a bead above the vinyl flooring by the WHB. Use thinners to clean of the glue. Try again. This is contact glue. You put it on each thing wait 10 minutes then press it together.
