short walk city center free parking hot breakfast dirty staircase outdated design black mold
The location is quite good. It is only a short walk to the city center. Free parking is available just outside. I find the included hot breakfast very convenient.
The staircase looked like it hadn't been cleaned recently. The room design seemed quite outdated, a bit odd. I note black mold on the shower tray edge.

Charming and Helpful Stay!

The room was big with a nice view! It was very nice and neat. The staff were helpful. I really appreciated the delicious breakfasts. They were very relaxing.
I noticed that the bathroom light above the sink was out. It made things a little difficult.

The hosts were very friendly. They attended to my needs promptly. The communication was fantastic from the very beginning. The breakfast offered good choices including fresh tea and coffee, toast, cheeses and hot foods. I enjoyed the eggs, bacon and porridge. It was AMAZING!!!
I found no lounge. The chair in my room had wooden legs. They were all loose. I almost fell!!!
