Great value for money and great location

− Lots of stairs to negotiate on front and rear entrances. The rear entrance staircase is exposed to the weather. Close parking spot not always available

Generally the whole place was clean and tidy with nice views

− The shower in room 12 is pathetic , the shower head falls down because it is loose , the hot water tap is tight and only drips out when turned on .the worst shower I’ve ever been in .
