super clean room tasteful design
the room was super clean, a really pleasant thing. the interior design was tasteful, it made staying in the room nice.
Service wasn't always efficient. some staff members' manner was a bit brusque. It was slightly off-putting.

clean room lovely staff loud noise creaky floorboards
the room, a twin room PRIVATE external bathroom, was REALLY clean and had everything i needed. i thought the staff was lovely, too. LOCATION was fab!
The VERY loud noise from other people returning was a problem. The floorboards creaked a LOT. i understand it's an old house, but the floorboards drove ME crazy.

basic stay with some issues
loud noise cramped room
location was alright, a short walk to the tram.
the noise was awful. i heard other guests talking loudly on the phone near my room late at night. the room itself felt very cramped, with barely any space to move around. i really don't think it was worth what i paid.
