These guys are cheats. Stay away!! We booked accomodation for 2 adults and 2 kids here. However, on our way to hostel, we were told that room we booked is not available and we should find alternative accomodation as we won't fit in 3 kids beds ( only room they have). They asked us to cancel the reservation through Expedia but then did not refund the booking amount.

Overall pleasant experience. Wish there was more signage and the phone number was inaccurate. Still, we were able to check in to our clean hostel without a worker and had a pleasant experience. The bathroom was especially nice.

Good and affordable place to stay in a quiet neighborhood at Inverness. It took us a good minute to figure out which room was ours since it's a self-check-in process and the keys to each room were on the doors. Overall great stay.
