“This cozy little room was perfect for us as two cycling friends. The room was very clean, with two single beds. One of our favourite features was having a rooftop window that allowed the room to cool very quickly and provided some fresh cool...” - Jack“Casual atmosphere of lounge is nice. We were allowed to store our bikes inside, which is good security. Breakfast is abundant and fairly priced; much better than jail food!
