“Huge rooms, great value for money and proceeds to charity!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 October 2005

people found this review helpful

My sister, my boyfriend and I stayed here in September 2005. We paid 72 euros per night for a triple with shower. Breakfast was NOT included. It is 15 minute walk from the main station. The main sights are also a 15 minute walk away.
PROs:
- Huge rooms and great value for money
- Clean room and shower (also huge shower) when we arrived
- Friendly staff
- Secure hotel
- Nearby deli to buy bread, cheese and parma ham to make your own breakfast!
- Internet place across the street and bigger wifi internet cafe down the road
- Proceeds go to disabled/troubled children
CONs:
- Room wasn't made up daily - we did stay over the weekend tho; so i don't know if they do get cleaned during the week.
- Reception not open all the time, and not open at all on Sunday.

All in all, i think this place is great value for money given the size of the rooms and reasonable location. I would stay here again.

“Florence's Little Secret”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2003

This is a great place to stay! Better than a normal hostel and cheaper than a hotel, this is a great choice for the budget traveller. You have the option of getting a single room (for a bit more money) or to share a room with 1, 2, or 3 other people. I chose a room with 4 available beds and ended up only having one other person in the room. Each room has its own bathroom with a sink and shower. The room I stayed in had a pretty spacious bottom floor with 2 beds and 2 more beds upstairs in a loft-like area (a little more cramped). The only downfall was the lack of air flow in the upstairs area. There was only one big window on the bottom floor that, unfortunately, didn't help much on the 2nd level (especially if you got the bed against the back wall). One of the best things about this accommodation was the fact that there is no curfew or lockout! However, be aware of the limited office hours and the fact that you cannot check in or out on Sunday.
