We booked the double room, right on the top floor, very small room with wash basin. Clean enough. Showers and toliets were alright, could have been cleaner.

"Feel like home", that's the first thing the host told us, to my girl friend and I, when we arrived in baggies late in the evening.

Stayed for 1 night, reception area was untidy and seemed to be used for an extra room during the night, found people laying on the sofas and using the area as a changing room in the morning.
