Good and affordable place to stay in a quiet neighborhood at Inverness. It took us a good minute to figure out which room was ours since it's a self-check-in process and the keys to each room were on the doors. Overall great stay.

Overall this is a good place, in a quiet location. Rooms are quite basic but fine. The shared kitchen is really nice. The only problems are very thin walls (you can hear any noises e.g talking and phones pinging in the next room) and a bright green light over the room door which you can't switch off. But overall a good stay and I slept well.

Overall pleasant experience. Wish there was more signage and the phone number was inaccurate. Still, we were able to check in to our clean hostel without a worker and had a pleasant experience. The bathroom was especially nice.

On arrival the key for the room we booked was not available, we contacted the owner and they were quick to respond, after a bit of back and forward on the chat a suitable solution was offered. Several light switches that seemed to do nothing and one set of lights that could not be turned off was a bit inconvenient. Overall the stay was comfortable and the owner helpful

We were very jet lagged so it was a convenient place to crash for the night. But our room smelled of stale cigaret smoke, we had to sleep with the window open. And the mattresses had buttons in them that made them extra uncomfortable. But the place was clean. And we felt safe.
