“Oyo The Old Victoria strikes me as a conveniently located choice in Penrith, especially given its proximity to the town centre. From what I gather, the ongoing redecoration is a definite plus, suggesting improvements are underway. It appears to offer clean, comfortable en-suite rooms and is managed by a friendly owner, making it a solid base for exploring the area.”
