Very good

Having the option of this room made my life so much easier, plus the location… the only reason I took off a star was because of the bed, they need to change the bases round as the one at the top of the bed was broken, which didn’t really help my sciatica, but apart from that, would definitely come back!
Location and price wise it was good. The WiFi didn’t reach in the room and it had a damp smell. The choice of room was comfy and it had what you needed. Overall the stay was good.

Good bed to rest and clean towels
If you até booked on Austins 2 be aware that there are no kitchen facilities. There is onde bathroom tô ne shared with at least 10 rooms which can be sometimes busy. Otherwise, Thais self check in accomodatiom was clean and confortable to stay 1 or 2 days If you stay all day out. There are no kitchen facilities.
The room was, on the top floor, not recommend for families. It was unsafe, smelly, dirty and claustrophobic.

A short walk from the train station and close to the park, the location was ideal. The room was a little run down but everything was clean. The shared toilet was not as clean, but was ok, not that close to the room.
The check in was easy - useful that you can arrive or leave at anytime.
It is good value and practical overall.
I didn't see any staff but everything went smoothly.
Simple room but did the job. Convenient location and easy to check in and out

Liked: Room comfort
Room was conveniently located for Principality, and infact overlooked it. Self check in instructions were accurate. Room itself, the bed was comfy. However my biggest issue was not having any contact number to deal with an issue I had, namely no power to kettle, hairdryer or TV.
If you do self check in then you need to provide contact details for any out of hours issues.
Hence only providing 3 stars.
Excellent location, comfortable beds, plenty of pillows. I would have loved some seating area, but we were using the accommodations for sleep mostly, so we socialized outside of the rooms.
We were so happy with our accommodation. It was perfectly located within walking distance to the coach station and castle, as well as the main shopping precinct.
Our family room was gigantic and massive value for money.
