Such a lovely stay in this beautiful guest hotel! It had such a lovely home feeling. Very budget friendly and walkable distance to the city. If I were to make any suggestion I would say it would have been helpful to have a mini refrigerator with a microwave for meals.

It was perfect. Big room with lots of nice little touches. Bed and bedding were comfortable. Bus right across the street. 20 minute walk to the university. I would definately book again. Highly recommended.

Nice clean room, the shower is small, but I think that is typical. Great location with bus stops right out front, making it very easy to travel into the city. There were several nights we walked back and it really isn't that far. Easy check in/out. Great stay.

Room was clean. Shower could be better but I was on the 3rd floor so water pressure could be affected. Nice view of Arthur seat.
