Mike made fresh pancakes each morning. Breakfast included toast, cheese, meat, and cereal. The location is next to a tram, close to food options and within walking distance to central areas. I found the staff friendly and helpful.

central location fresh pancakes friendly staff street noise narrow stairs no air conditioning

I adored the central location. a tram stop was very close, made getting around so simple. the breakfast was a delight. Fresh pancakes and eggs were prepared each morning, alongside a selection of cheese and cereal. the staff were friendly. I felt safe .

My room faced the street. i could hear garbage trucks very early, it was difficult to sleep. the room lacked air conditioning. it became very hot, even with the window open. the stairs were quite narrow. I found it difficult to carry my luggage.
