6/10 Okay
"Fine for the price but the accommodation is tired, the toilets block (two rooms in our group had this problem) and the showers can flood through the gap to the rest of the bathroom. Beds are comfortable enough. Really dirty underneath the beds though in all the rooms our group had. Breakfast was good and we also had one dinner here which was good too. Good, central location and not too noisy. "
