It's a Hostel; saying that, staff strive daily to make it better. Friendly welcoming people stay here. A piece of History, great place to meet people from all over the world. Two FREE pancakes DAILY Delicious 😋
Alan, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff and other guests were friendly and pleasant to deal with. The free pancakes each morning were a nice surprise. The communal bathroom could do with an upgrade, but everything worked. Not sure how rooms are selected/allocated, my room was almost as far as possible from the communal bathroom.

I stayed here a long time ago and love to come back, it is quirky, old, nostalgic, littered with character and hidden history. Plus it is super affordable and really conveniently located.

Had all the basics but very run down. Nice enough to stay for short periods on a budget. Has potential to be really nice but needs a little maintenance.

I only stayed for one night but was a great stay!! Al the staff were so friendly and helpful and they had pets there that were just as friendly, so cute. Woke up to free pancakes and the best ones I’ve ever eaten!!
Ellie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Pancakes each morning were great and stimulated friendly interactions between guests and staff. Taco the pussycat was a hit with our 11 year old. Amenities were great, generally clean plenty of room & equipment to cook your own meals. The men’s bathroom stinks, Urinal poorly cleaned/maintained.

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