lovely stay close to city center

cooked breakfast option on site parking king size bed ensuite bathroom

the breakfast was continental with cooked options like toast. parking is available on site for a few vehicles. the location is great for walking to attractions. my room was a good size with a king size bed and an ensuite (i really liked that).

the cellular service in the area was not great, made not having wifi a bit difficult.

musty odor weak shower pressure

the breakfast was acceptable. it was simple but sufficient.

the room lacked proper ventilation, a persistent musty odor was present. the shower pressure was notably weak. also, the absence of an elevator made carrying luggage to the upper floors strenuous, a significant inconvenience for me.

secure parking cute host

The secure onsite parking was convenient. Margarita and Peter makes you feel very welcome I feel. It's only ten minute to walk to the town center. The breakfast included porridge, it tasted nice.

The room are old and run down, needs a bit airing.
