Really good service and Convenient Location

kind people early check-in convenient location

The staff were cute. I received assistance with early check-in, which i appreciated. The location is very convenient with bus lines nearby. I also found several food places and cafes in proximity.

I had some trouble opening the window in my room. It was quite heavy.

The room was well-equipped with plenty of wardrobe space for clothes (a big plus for longer stays) and very clean upon arrival. I found the bed to be very comfortable.

Location

The house is near the waterfront with bus lines to the city center. There is a supermarket opposite the hotel, i found this very useful. I also noticed some food places nearby.

charming stay!

friendly staff clean room great tea useful questionnaire

The staff was very friendly. As soon as you crossed the threshold, i reminded me of i was visiting close friends. super tidy. The room had everything i needed. i was pleased with the choice of tea, coffee, and milk. a questionnaire was available if you had any comments or ideas. i didn't need it.

the neighborhood did not have many things to do nearby, but that was okay. the room was small, maybe a little overpriced, but it was perfectly fine for a short stay.
