awful water pressure non-existent wifi

The location was acceptable. The bus stop right outside made getting around relatively easy.

The room I got, a so-called 'double room private bathroom', was a disaster. The shower barely worked. The water pressure was AWFUL and it took forever to get any hot water. Then there was the WiFi. It was practically non-existent, I COULDN'T even load a simple webpage.

Acceptable stay with a bus stop nearby

bus stop clean room soap holder outdated decor

The guesthouse was very nice and neat. I appreciated that the bus stop for the blue busline is right in front of the gate. This made getting around easier. The breakfast was also nice.

I would have liked some soap holders in the shower. It would be more user-friendly for the amenities. the room's decor needed updating.
