It's peaceful. But if you can have locks on the storage locker for extra security. Next time I will need a bottom part of the bunkbed

Cons (-) The bar as good as it is, a bit of a tourist trap... It shouldn't be €5-6 for a pint... The rooms were hot as hell, the window barely opened and only at the end of stay did we find out we could reques...

Cons (-) Beds were comfortable but creaked. Every time you turned or moved, the whole bed would creak and move. Also it was very hot at night due to having a very small window in the room.
