    Shower temperature inconsistent!!! Lack of lift made navigating the building difficult. Limited parking space needs better management!!! General maintenance issues like peeling paint could use attention!!!

    ideal location
    comfortable warm room
    underbed cleanliness issue
    missing toilet tissue
    lack of daily coffee replenishment

    The location is a significant advantage, with everything in easy walking distance. The room was warm, comfortable, and clean, providing a cozy retreat, but there were minor cleanliness issues under the bed. Some amenities were lacking, like the absence of toilet tissue upon arrival, requiring follow-up. Despite the slight inconveniences, this stay met my basic needs effectively.

    Charming Stay with Room for Improvement

    I enjoyed my stay, especially the warm ambiance and friendly staff. The location in old town is excellent for exploring. the furniture felt mismatched, and the dining options could really use some revitalization. For check-in, plan to arrive before 6 PM. Parking should be booked in advance.

    Good location near public transport, making it easy to explore the area. Budget-friendly options available, perfect for a short stay when you're out and about most of the day.

    Some of the decor feels dated and worn, including carpets that show signs of use and bathroom fixtures that could use a thorough cleaning. Had issues with strong odors in the room upon arrival, which lingered despite attempts to air it out, leaving an uncomfortable air of neglect.

    musty hallway

    Nice stay, close to everything

    Spent one night here and loved the location – super easy to walk to the city center. The bed? So comfy! Plus, it was quiet at night, so got a great sleep. Breakfast was decent with plenty of options. Just a heads up, the hallways had a bit of a musty smell, but the room didn’t. a chill stay.
