Just few minutes' walk from train station and Tourist Info office. Honour system, you get a code via e-mail to get in the door, then deposit payment into safe.

Laid back,... more

I would just like to inform you that we no longer accept large parties of males over four such as yourself as we now realise it does not work, as you mentioned, it disturbs other people. I was infact on holiday during the period of your stay so if you felt there was a lack of presence of staff that...

Well, it was clean and the beds were comfy and THE shower was good. And it is 100m from the train station, whcih is handy.

I am sorry you were not completely satisfied with your stay. We have since your stay installed a new bathroom. I assure you the place has been properly fire asessed and we have in place all the right fire regulations and proceedures. I'm sorry you didn't find the lounge to your liking, but many of our customers say it is...
