Booked online, 5 months in advance, got email confirmation. When we arrived the place was full and the owner denied all knowledge of any booking or email. Judging by the flys hovering around our heads, the strange smells and the general air of grottyness I think we had a lucky escape. more

After a hard days work i couldnt wait to get back and chill out. I arrived at Arden guest house and it stank so much that i felt sick. I was taking to my room and couldnt believe my eyes, it was disgusting. The bed looked like it hadnt been changed for a while, the towels were falling apart and... more

Conveniently located, yes. The stay not convenient at all. The owner lady is very rude and actually thinks that she is doing you a favor by letting you in as a customer.

Our room was comfortable and spotlessly clean, although the decor is pretty minimal. However, since our only concern is having a comfortable bed (and the bed was firm and comfy) in... more

What a great place to stay! We had a rough trip getting there, however the owners made up for our troubles! They were so accomodating! The breakfast was out of this world! The rooms were small, but cozy and the location could not be better. A quiet side street which offered a good nights sleep! Would stay there again! more
