good, but with some noise issues
convenient location clean room comfortable bed poor sound isolation corridor noise bathroom mildew
the location was convenient (just a short walk to the city center). the room was clean and nicely decorated. i appreciated the different pillow options, and the bed was comfortable.
sound isolation of the door was poor. i heard noise in the corridor outside, near the front door. there was mildew growing in the trimmings of the mirror in the bathroom.

sherry touch recommended pubs direct access
The room included a tea tray (a nice touch!) with sherry. A list of recommended pubs and restaurants nearby was available. The tram stops are a short walk from the guesthouse and provide direct access to the airport.
The room was quite small and there was no communal area available.

i found the staff unbelievably friendly! the room i stayed in was modern and clean. breakfast included cultural flavors which was a good surprise. the hotel's proximity to the tram line made getting around quite simple.
