walking distance cozy room facelift needed overpriced accommodation

The location was great. It was just opposite a major church. it was also within walking distance of many attractions. the room was basic but cozy.

the rooms definitely need a bit of a facelift. i felt it was overpriced for the level of accommodation.

LOVED every minute!

speedy process fantastic base stocked kitchen

i found the check-in process speedy and so simple. our room served perfectly as a fantastic base for adventure. we actually used the shared kitchen several times and it seemed well stocked with equipment.

the sliding bathroom door sat REALLY close to the second bed, i must say. all, uh, ablutions became pretty obvious. it is a small thing, i know, but still kinda hard to deal with.

poor soundproofing missing toaster

the location was good because it was close to the city center.

the room lacked soundproofing and i could hear everything in the neighboring rooms and bathrooms. opening the heavy doors from inside required two hands. i also noticed there was no toaster in the kitchen, and i really wanted toast.
