Summary: This was a good stay, convenient and handy. The feel with a double room is a little like a b&b, with helpful staff and very simple rooms. The main negative is a very noisy pipe running in the room which seemed to be linked to people having showers, although the nose finishes at midnight. The communal areas are nice, and it served a tofu and potato curry for free evening meals (you have to get on the list so maybe email in about this as it fills up fast. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. Going by out stay the private rooms are at the top, so accessibility could be an issue (steep stairs) ... Overall, I would definitely come again, it has a nice vibe and for the price and location, it's really good.
