    Check in was easy and room was comfortable. Only complaint was bathroom facilities were a number of steps around the corner. Thought the room price was a little much. It is a good place if none other rooms are available.

    Excellent location in the heart of town and on the medieval mile. Check in was easy. I had a bed in the female dorm, which was secure with its own room key. Kitchen was lovely as well as a sitting room with couches.
