Where do I even begin with this place?! Absolutely amazing, staff were amazing, it's very downtown, rooms are immaculate, facilities are amazing (pool room, state of the art kitchen, showers etc). The fact the have men's sport soap in the showers that smells amazing is class. Rooms are so cosy and warm, it's so cheap. The best thing, they're non for profit and they're so so environmentally friendly. Would recommend and I will definitely visit again!!

The room was really clean. My roommates were nice. The only thing is there was a sign in the washroom saying to complete your shower in 3 minutes. Who is showering in 3 minutes? Other than that it was a pleasant stay. Would recommend if you’re a more extrovert type of person.
