Acceptable Stay Near Medieval City

short walkhelpful staffquiet roomroom maintenancesmall windowbasic breakfast
I liked the short walk to the walled medieval city. The staff were helpful. My room was quiet, and , made it relaxing.
The room needed maintenance. The small window in my second-floor room was disappointing. Breakfast was abundant, though very basic.

Adequate Location Some Disappointments

slippery surfacesmall window
The room was not excellent considering the price. I noticed cheap plastics in the shower , made the surface quite slippery. The toilet roll holder was loose and looked ready to fall off the wall and the bathroom door showed water damage. There was also inadequate natural light in the room because of a small bedroom window.
