"Friendly staff. Good recommendations for local areas. Really cute and unique property. Would stay again for sure. Excellent breakfast. Parking was tight, but owner was helpful in getting the car in. Security for the room was a potential issue as you could put your arm through the gate to unlock it at anytime; risk is mitigated by no one being allowed into the property that isn't a guest. Still, I'd put valuables in the safe. Overall was a great stay. Highly recommended and would be glad to...

"I am very very disappointed in this hostel. There were no actual door locks. The property is old and not in good repair and worst of all is that my mattress smelled very strongly of cat urine. Really! They tried to cover it up by hanging a toilet bowl sanitizer on the wall of the room. I removed it because the fumes were overwhelming. Also... they rent rooms by the hour! Yikes. It was the worst experience for me in a hotel/hostel, and I am a world wide traveller and often opt for...

10/10 Excellent
"My parents stayed here for a night due to a long overlay and this hotel is amazing. They arrived late at night and the shuttle was already waiting for them at the airport which I appreciate so much! Then they had to leave very early the next day and the shuttle was ready for them to head back to the airport. They staff was amazing and the hotel was beautiful. "
