really good lodging experience

convenient position cute host generously sized room separate seating
i chose this place because of its convenient position. the host was very cute. the room was generously sized and comfortably warm. it featured a sizable bed and a separate seating area. the inclusion of plates, glasses, and cutlery proved quite helpful (a thoughtful touch).
the steps to reach our room at the back of the building were somewhat steep. this might pose a challenge with mobility issues.
Location

a stay with some drawbacks

central location easy exploration great shower poor communication cramped hotel misleading description
The location was really central, a big plus! it made exploring the area easy. the room had everything i needed for a comfortable stay. It really did. the shower was great, i loved it!
Communication before arrival wasn't the best, a bit frustrating. the hotel felt quite small and cramped. I felt this a lot. the description of the balcony was a little misleading, too. It wasn't what i expected.

good-sized bed pair armchairs self-catering facilities car park
The room included a good-sized bed and a pair of armchairs. Shutters on the windows helped shut out the light. The hotel was very close to the main shopping street. I walked a short distance from the train station to reach it.
I found the room very small. I expected self-catering facilities! though that was probably my error. I dealt with the hassle of dropping bags off and then driving to the car park.
