Acceptable, but with Issues

good locationsmall roompoor insulation
The location was good, placing me close to various attractions.
I had issues. The single room I booked was quite small for the price. I also found the sound insulation poor, I could clearly hear noise from other rooms.

Excellent stay, friendly service and great location

really good breakfast formpolite ladysound insulation
Our family stayed for three nights. The owners were friendly. I found the breakfast form to be a fantastic idea (no waiting!). The breakfast itself was delicious, served promptly by a very polite lady, a real credit to the hotel.
The hotel floors did creak a bit, and I could hear some noise from adjacent rooms. I felt some improvement in sound insulation would be beneficial. It bothered me during the evenings when i tried to rest.
