a satisfactory experience

helpful host central location communal kitchen dated decor thin walls slanted ceiling
the host was really nice he provided lots of information about what to see. the location was near the city centre it made exploring easy. i liked that there was a communal kitchen with a fridge i could store some snacks there.
the decor seemed a bit old it could use some updating. the walls were thin i could hear noises from other rooms. my room was in the attic the slanted ceiling made it hard to move around freely.

basic stay with shortcomings

street noise weak shower
I found some aspects of the room disappointing. the shower lacked power. It was more of a dribble than a proper shower. additionally, the noise from the street at night made it difficult to sleep soundly, even with the windows closed. street noise, weak shower

The common kitchen proved useful with its various electrical appliances. I appreciated the low-priced permit, allowing me to park round the corner easily. Mo was kind and helpful. He. The location made it easy to walk to the city center (I also enjoyed talking with Mo).

really good stay!

convenient location warm greeting clean room
I found the location quite convenient, a short walk to the city center. mo greeted me warmly and promptly carried my suitcase to my room. Check-in was seamless. the room itself was large and clean, the en-suite bathroom featured a bath and shower with plenty of towels provided.
during my stay, i noticed the absence of indoor seating for breakfast, which required me to take the meal back to my room. a dedicated indoor area would improve the overall dining experience.

Really good Stay Near the City Center

I received a warm welcome upon arrival! The room had lovely decor and offered tea and coffee. The shower was particularly pleasant. There is a small kitchen with a refrigerator and cooking facilities available. It also has a small outdoor area. This guesthouse is close to the city center. It is also near the river, nice for a walk.
The central heating seemed inactive one morning. This made the room cold upon waking.
