I was frustrated with my stay. the bed in the double room i got was far too hard. it was like sleeping on a plank. My back ached every morning. also, the noise level was bad. i could hear people walking around upstairs at all hours. i did not sleep well.

Clean room, good location
clean roommodern roomcoffee machinehelpful messages
The room was clean, modern and comfortable. I liked the coffee machine, especially the provided pods. Messages were sent to me with access details to the keys, information about nearby facilities, and if i needed anything else. I appreciated not needing direct contact with staff, but i felt welcome.
The bathroom had nowhere to put personal items. There was no countertop or shelf. This was slightly annoying.
Facilities

The accommodation includes private parking, useful. The location is convenient to both the north pier and the corran esplanade. It is close to many places.
Rooms
9/10
The room had blackout blinds. This was useful since the room was on the ground floor. The decoration was well done and the bed was comfortable. It felt quite cozy and the bathroom was bright and clean.

The room was immaculate and quiet. the host was available by phone and responded quickly when i called. It was very reassuring. everything i needed was nearby, a major plus! i would definitely book there again.
The sink was quite small. It made washing a little awkward. the toilet was too close to the sink.
