bathroom €25/30; )
Run by affable Roger, Papa Daya is a solidly reliable option, with
20 simple, scrupulously clean rooms. Overall it's more homely than its nearby competit-
ors, with lots of greenery and jolly murals around, and facilities include a simple kitchen,
a laundry and a TV lounge. Parking is available at the front, but there are only six spaces.
Cash only.

Its motto is 'clean, comfy, well-priced', and frankly it would be hard to ar-
gue with that. What it lacks in style is made up for by an ace location and tidy rooms with
fridge. The cheapest have shared facilities but have air-con. There's also a kitchen (for
breakfast only) and laundry area. Private parking is available (five spaces only).
