uncomfortable mattress noisy street
The location was okay. It was about a 15-minute walk to the city centre.
I found the room quite disappointing. the bed sagged noticeably in the middle, and the mattress was very uncomfortable. the window faced the street, and the noise from traffic kept me awake. The curtains didn't block out the light at all.

a lovely stay
great atmosphere romantic setting friendly service
the bar had a great atmosphere! a nice outside seating area provided a romantic setting. the breakfast included locally sourced sausages, they tasted good. the staff demonstrated friendly and helpful service.
i noticed there was no coat hook on the back of the door, this small detail would add convenience.

clean room coffee facilities cold room weak wifi
The room was clean. The breakfast had everything I needed, including coffee making facilities (I appreciated that).
The room was cold when I arrived. It took a few hours to reach a nice temperature even with the heating on max. The WIFI did not stretch up to the room. I had to get the password for another network to get it to work.
