Good location. People are very friendly. The carpark is in need of some resurfacing - especially in winter, when it's wet.

Run by the owners and very warm greetings. It's an historic building and feels very old and inviting.

I really loved all the people there; workers, people staying, and all! There's a wonderful homely atmosphere and it was just really enjoyable! The breakfast was lovely too, as are the people who made it. I would recommend it maybe more for people who enjoy meeting new people and enjoy staying in places that feel more like a really comfortable home rather than something extravagant. All the same, it's a good experience.

Great location. Run down, daggy tiny double room with stained carpet, noisy old cheap metal bed, wafer thin pillows, terrible mattress. Noisy. Nothing like the dishonest picture. The bathroom and toilets were worse than a bad caravan park. The men's urinal absolutely stank, like a seedy pub at 3am, except all day. The whole place is in need of a serious maintenance overhaul. It was just dirty. From the sand pit car park, to the dirty doors and walls. Do not recommend! As an ex Albany resident I was embarrassed that this was presented as acceptable accommodation for guests to our country. I will be lodging a formal complaint with the City of Albany demanding a health inspection.
