Luise from Germany (8/10)
I quite liked having my own room with a bathroom attached! The room was comfortable and great size and had all the amenities I needed, as well as a kitchen with all appliances down the hall. There is also a big supermarket right next to the property which was very useful as well.

Mary from Sweden (8/10)
We were very happy with how spacious, clean and cozy the room is!! We like the location away from the busy CBD but also not too far, the train station and tram stops are all walking distance:)
We liked the little fridge, our own private bathroom, the bath towels and soap included and also the very comfortable bed!! When we had an issue on how to check in, we called the property and were answered straightaway and given instructions which we absolutely appreciate!!
Thank you so much, we had such a beautiful stay 🤗22 from Australia (7/10)

Room 2, I had:
Very basic but expected that as I have been here once over a year ago. Clean and tidy. No tv, but I don't watch tv anyway 😯. Bed was ok, but needed more pillows as they were very small soft like.
Room has window to outside, from a useless corner which has your cloak hanger stationed there. Good to keep your clothes exposed to the outside air, and consequently also provide for the room⛹️
Shower is great. Bathroom is clean and tidy.
So near to Malvern Central shopping, just right behind the building 🦸
Quite, no disturbance at all from other residents
Very basic kitchen set up but still adequate if you wanted to do some cooking of course. Shared fridge/freezer. It has a cooking stove and a small dining table.
