Excellent location, comfortable beds, plenty of pillows. I would have loved some seating area, but we were using the accommodations for sleep mostly, so we socialized outside of the rooms.

Despite initial problems gaining an access code, I had a pleasant stay in a simple, no nonsense room with all that was needed. Central location is excellent.

Easy access to the guest house and my room with a code. Very convenient location for attending an event at the Utilita arena. Regarding cleanliness there were some issues:-the carpets in the room and hallways are dirty, very worn chair in my room, dirt on wall and very dark stains on duvet and mattress protector that can be seen through the sheets. The bathroom facilities all looked very clean. Overall it’s a nice guesthouse.

Great value for money

We were so happy with our accommodation. It was perfectly located within walking distance to the coach station and castle, as well as the main shopping precinct. Our family room was gigantic and massive value for money.
