    great location
    lack of play areas

    We had a lovely stay at this place with our family and our dog. The staff were friendly and gave great recommendations, like visiting The Banshee around the corner. The location made it easy to explore the area and enjoy some local pubs.

    My kids wished there were more play areas for them to enjoy. Although it was a decent stay, a few family-friendly amenities would enhance the experience.

    Comfortable Stay for Groups with Room for Improvement

    Our group stayed for 4 nights in a budget double room. Sharing with others was a bit awkward, especially at night with noisy bunk beds. Hopefully, the noise issues get resolved. Explore local eateries nearby for great food options. our late-night snack was a hit!

    convenient location
    shared kitchen
    uncomfortable bedding

    Location near public transportation made getting around easy. The shared kitchen had plenty of space and decent appliances to prepare meals.

    The Comfort Triple Room was misleadingly advertised with a single bed that turned out to be a cheap cot with loose springs, which didn't suit our 15-year-old son. The overall accommodation felt cramped, limiting comfort during our two-night stay. Noise from other guests made it hard to relax at times.

    Recommended for budget travelers

    I had a good experience sharing with other travelers in the kitchen late at night. It was refreshing to connect over meals and share stories, reminded me of the bond over chemistry experiments in school. They had free bathroom products, which was unexpected and solid for the price.

    It was acceptable, though not exactly a steal.

    comfy beds
    kitchen chats
    sketchy train station

    I had a great time here, especially enjoying the late-night chats in the kitchen and the clean, comfy beds. The game room and cozy lounge were perfect for unwinding after a busy day. Just a heads up, the nearby train station felt a bit sketchy at night, but it didn’t dampen my stay at all! 🌟

    comfortable but lacking some amenities

    My bed in the shared dorm was clean and quite comfy, providing a good night's sleep. I enjoyed chatting with fellow travelers in the kitchen while preparing meals with groceries from the nearby Star Market.

    I found that some common areas could use more upkeep.
