I stayed here March 2006 with two friends and had such a brilliant time. I was there for around 7 nights and didn't want to leave. It feels just like a big house where everyone is family. For £7 a night you can't really go wrong! Staff are very friendly and helpful, especially Gabby at reception and Sofia the housekeeper.... more
