The towels are hard and crusty. They have clearly been used and washed a million times. They hurt to use. They need to be changed!

Good location, walkable distance to restaurants and city center. Limited parking could be a problem for late check ins. Door codes were convenient, easy check in and entry. Shared kitchen was fully equipped. Spacious room but there was a stain in the ceiling which could be potentially a leak upstairs, hopefully they will fix it. The shower was a bit small, the curtain wraps around you when it gets wet. Plastic shower curtain might be a better fit. Good stay in general, spacious room. Laundry facility would be a great idea since the area has only one commercial laundry.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
No towels provided. We were asked to use a 'communal towel'... and share with others...? Beds were old and I had back ache the day after, the rooms were loud from noises outside the building. Parking is street parking and check in/check out times are very inconvenient. There is a hotel right across the street that was cheaper and cleaner... unfortunately it was not available for 2 nights so we had to sleep here for a night.

Acco guesthouse is a great walkable distance from a handful of dining options and shopping. The room we stayed in was very spacious and the beds were large and comfortable. The bathroom however, was quite tight. The shower ledge takes up a lot of room even though the shower is very small. The ledge also had a decent size chunk out of it which was a big hazard when we had just woken up in the morning and weren’t used to our surroundings.

What is unique about this property is the absence of hot water. Space is pretty limited in a kitchen, so you have to wait some time before having dinner.

The hostel was well organized and accessible. Room and bathroom were very clean, but bed sheets smelled bad, it was a bit disappointing. Easy parking in front of the property. The city is very nice and very close to the hostel.

Overall it was a good, cheap stay for a night. It's not very far from all the restaurants and bars, but it is also at the top of a fairly large hill. The facilities were nice enough. Though the tv in my room was flickering. I'd recommend if you just need a place to stay for a night or two.

Dark, dingy and run down

I usually don't leave bad reviews but I feel this property misleads customers in the extreme. The place is dark, dingy and run down. The photos are clearly taken with a very wide angle lens and the white balance is whacked up to present a clean, bright interior. This was (by far) the most disappointing accommodation we stayed at during an otherwise fantastic 7 night trip around the loop road. Look elsewhere!!

good location near the church. Liked the clean room, but parking is nighmare. Only 4 are available for 10 rooms. street parking is only options for the weekdays with parking fee. Weekend is fine. We had a shower issue but property manager responses were bit annoying.
