small roomthin walls
the room i stayed in was quite small, difficult to move around , especially with my luggage. i also noticed that the walls seemed thin , because i could hear noise from other rooms and the hallway. it was a bit disruptive , particularly early in the morning and late at night. the television remote also didn't work , and i had to manually change channels.

Simple and Friendly Stay
friendly stafftasty breakfastconvenient locationsignificant noise
I found the staff to be very cute. The breakfast was good (the English breakfast!). The location is convenient. It is a short walk to the town center. I stayed for one night and found everything satisfactory.
My room was above the beer garden, and i noticed it was quite noisy. The noise could be reduced, especially late at night. This would help improve the experience staying in those rooms. i suggest soundproofing measures.

mixed feelings about my stay
clean roomodd breakfastloud fan
the room was clean and had everything i needed. it was a standard twin room.
The breakfast situation was ODD. there was no menu, and the only option seemed to be a full english breakfast, and it was not ideal. i also had trouble sleeping because of a VERY loud fan that kept turning on and off throughout the night. It was irritating.
