2/10 Poor

Worst accommodation I’ve ever stayed at.

Terrible and damp basement room with a broken door lock, horrible smell, and poor condition overall. The television cable was cut, the private toilet was a shared, dirty toilet down the corridor and the shower was unusable (the gaps were hanging out of the wall). The walls are thin, I had a window looking into the hallway, and the place felt like a dive with the owners clearly just pocketing the money and putting into their own pockets, with no investment in maintaining the place. Wouldn’t recommend for business or leisure. Was extremely uncomfortable and would rather sleep under the rail bridge than here again.

8/10 Very good

Comfy beds and good location!

4/10 Fair

Could do better

Rooms below ground level , you could smell the damp. All locks liked they were going to come away in your hand. TV aerial was a naked cable with some blue tack on the end, did not connect to TV so unable to use TV

David, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

For the price point of the property you have to go in with certain expectations, I had these expectations altered during my stay, the room was clean, the bed was comfy and the host was very kind and helpful. I specifically stayed in the Double Room with King Bed and ensuite and cant fault anything.

2/10 Poor

The place was damp, smelly with cracked bathroom walls & a centipede in the toilet!
Chui Lin, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Aside from a gross shower curtain, the place was clean and staff were friendly. The room was pretty spacious, although the bed was a little uncomfortable. Overall, the price was right and the location was great!
Elizabeth, 5-night trip

4/10 Fair

First property I have seen where bathroom / restroom is separate from the room. It's a hostel not a hotel.

Omar, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Decent place to stay for a night or two. Great price. Great location with bus stops near by and walking distance from the train station. Easy check in and check out. It’s slightly annoying you have to walk through a corridor to get to the toilet/bathroom & the facilities could be cleaner.
Alessandra, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff at Sakura guest house did a great job of providing for me. The room was large and comfortable. The bathroom was in a different room off the hallway but was private, for my use only. Great value; I would stay here again.
