Great experience at this interesting location especially for the kids”

This facility is more like Airbnb style accommodation. Everything is self-servised. Great experience of staying at world steepest street. The house was clean and tidy with Bart and new bathroom. Only two things that might need to improve are hot water supply and bed linen/towel could use more commercial grade quality products.

Worth it!”

We got a room on the 1st floor. The room is super clean. The bathroom looks modern and hot water works great. The bed is comfy. Heater works great. The location is not far away from the town. Free parking is near the accommodation. It would have been much greater if we could have stayed on the second floor coz we love the view. The owner had sent us the detail of staying so we can be prepared. Summary: 9.5/10 (0.5 is taken coz cooking is not allowed)

Fantastic room and location with great view. we got free upgraded during check in, basically entitle for the entire space at ground floor which come with 2 bedroom and a living room. Clean, tidy and spacious. Only disappointment was, no breakfast provided although they stated as B&B during reservation. No kitchenette facilities, not even complimentary tea or coffee provided. There is only a kettle provided but with some filthy stain in it.

I didn't receive my instructional email but lucky the Dreaded Lioness was there to help, she's awesome. Adequate but old and dated furnishings and no parking but short walk up hill was great.

There are RULES! No cooking... even though a kitchen is advertised. No alcohol... is this a school camp? No noise after 8pm... is this a curfew? Smelly threadbare towels , no living space... even though photos indicate this. Manager doesn’t respond to emails OR phone calls. Text is his only communication medium. Better to choose a backpackers!!!!!!!!

We only received communication from the host on the afternoon we arrived and he was not there when we arrived. The toilet had not been cleaned. The sheet on the bed was ripped. The pillows smelt awful (needed dry cleaning). The kitchenette was not clean. The towels were very old and thin. Bit disappointed that we had to park the car at the bottom of the hill. Having said that, the shower was good, the bathroom was nice and the location was easy to find.

check in is only available after 630pm (we only got the note during the check in day) The room wasn't even ready when we arrived at 645pm. Please note that there is NO PARKING AT THE PREMISE but luckily we were allowed to park in as my wife broke her back (unlucky at the same time). The room and towels smell bad and moist. Not the cleanest room but the room view was good. Not much facilities, NO WASHING MACHINE allowed to use.
