good breakfastsmall roombathroom door
the breakfast was good.
The room felt quite small. i also had a problem with the bathroom door. It was a folding wooden door that did not close properly, so there was a noticeable gap. this lack of privacy made me uncomfortable.

a nice stay

usb hubsmodern bathroomgreat choices
the room included perfectly positioned usb hubs, it helped greatly. the bathroom was modern, and it was impeccably clean. breakfast offered many choices, and everything tasted divine.
the room is vey small and we had problems with the toilet. street parking is hit-and-miss. to sit in the room, you had to use the bed, not good. the lounge had no tv and there was no bar and restaurant so to watch tv (euro soccer say) it had to be from sitting on the bed, in the room.

The location was great. It was in the heart of the town.
The room seemed clean initially, but closer inspection revealed a layer of dust on surfaces. I also noticed the bathroom fan was quite noisy and stayed on far too long after use. These issues impacted my stay negatively.

excellent choiceshelpful hostmini fridgecold roomwooden doorbig gap
The breakfast had excellent choices. our host turned on the heating so we could dry our clothes. I found this very helpful. the rooms were comfy, and every detail was thought out. a mini fridge stocked with fresh milk and bottled water was a nice touch.
the small room felt a bit cold. the bathroom door was wooden and folded in half. there was a big gap, about 2-3 cm, between the door and the wall. it didn't close tightly.
