fantastic hosts and superb breakfast!

excellent hosts clean rooms nice breakfast comfy bed

Roy and tina were excellent hosts, and the breakfast was nice, a great way to start the day. rooms were really clean. It's clear they pay attention to detail. i will definitely return. It's a place i can rely on for a comfortable stay. the bed was super comfy, i slept like a baby.

the only minor thing was that the tv remote needed new batteries.

Acceptable but with Issues

bathroom fan thin walls

The location was convenient. It was a short walk to the tram stop.

The budget double room felt cramped. The bathroom fan DIDN'T work, and the room service skipped us one morning. the walls seemed thin. I could hear conversations next door.
