Great location - friendly hosts
Pros:

Breakfast was plain and simple - not much choice and no cereals or juice
It was cooked well and there was plenty of it - very friendly hosts and it was an excellent location in the middle of town

Cons:

Steps! It was on the top floor so with a heavy suitcase and asthma it was tough going! Only a small niggle

Friendly hosts and comfortable stay
Pros:

Breakfast nicely cooked and presented.

Cons:

The only thing we could say we didn’t like,(being picky, would be the tiny cups left in room for tea and coffee)! We couldn’t hold them, because the handles were so small.

Inte värt pengarna
Pros:

Vi fick checka in tidigt.

Cons:

Frukosttider stämde ej med booking.com. frukost var kl09. Personal kom vid 9.15. Dålig service,ingen menu,fick be om 2 kaffe. Lyckades få 1. Bad om juice, fick ett glas. Fick be om ett till. Rätt som det var fick vi en tallrik med frukost. Vi fick ej göra beställning. Vi har aldrig fått en mer fruktansvärd frukost någonstans. Det var slöseri då det knappt var ätligt. De bad om rumsnyckeln vid 9.30 vid frukosten. Utcheckning var 10. Så det blev inga borstade tänder etc. Om det var så att ägarna var trötta efter fredagens karaoke?? De behöver se över sitt beteende mot övernattande gäster. Och att det stämmer överens med booking.com. På tok för dyrt för ett väldigt "trött" rum.

Working Weekend Stay
Pros:

The hosts were genuine the nicest people. Their warm, friendly atmosphere made it a great place to stay. Absolutely loved the karaoke on Friday evening with a good vibe. Communication was great from the host, and I had no problem asking for a heater when my room was cold. I can see that the hosts are truly loved by the locals and are very hard working, making sure that my stay was comfortable and safe. Plenty of parking on site.

Cons:

Room was cold, but no fault from the hosts as they warned me before check-in that the radiators had a temporary issue which was in the process of being sorted. My meal Friday night was great,however Sat night the food was over cooked. A bit dissapointed to learn that everything was frozen and not cooked from fresh.
