convenient and clean stay

convenient locationclean roomgood bathroomhelpful owner

the location was quite convenient to the city centre and also to the train station. i found it very clean and quiet, with a good size bathroom offering a nice hot shower. i appreciated the kettle, mugs, fridge and the provided tea and coffee in my room, so useful. the owner was really helpful, always available for clear directions.

The floorboards upstairs creaked, i could hear it from my room. Though it wasn't a huge issue

Dining

the communal kitchen included everything needed to save money by eating in, so i could make both breakfast and dinner. every utensil and appliance was available, a great convenience for preparing meals, and i could find a well stocked tesco nearby.

The blinds did not block out any light. The shower was not clean, so I had to stand on a hand towel while showering. Walls were really thin. I could always hear other guests (which was annoying).

the room included a personal fridge (very handy for storing snacks). i found the communal kitchen to be excellent. shops were also conveniently located nearby.

the room felt basic overall. i noticed there was no hand soap in the bathroom. the bed was also too firm for my preference.
