Central Location, Clean Room

clean room comfortable room helpful landlady tea supplies

the room was super clean and cozy. i was very close to the cathedral, where many tours start. the landlady was helpful, she stored my suitcase since i got there early. there were tea supplies in the room which i appreciated.

the curtains were thin in the room so the light came in early.

Service

the owner gave me good directions to local attractions. she also offered me a bigger room without me even asking. she even let me use her own parking space which was very generous.

central location excellent care quick response

The location was central and close to the tour pick-up point. Staff provided excellent care and attention. They responded quickly to my query.

The building smelled slightly of stale cigarettes.
