Noisy, no breakfast, minimal equipment and comfort.
Pros:

Lovely, typical public ("communal") house with a cafe/restaurant, some public services upstairs and a few rooms to rent. The bed was very large.

Cons:

The room was noisy: not much traffic, but each car was enough to disturb sleep. We were told we had been upgraded to a larger room, but I felt downgraded to a noisier one (I had booked a room not overlooking the street and had sent a message requesting a quiet room). No fridge -- a wine cellar was presented to us as the room's fridge, but its minimum temp was 7C and it was very noisy. I did not find the bed comfy enough (though my wife found it OK). No breakfast as the cafe/restaurant is closed on Sunday! There was a coffee machine in the room, but no cups! We were the only guests and woke up in a totally empty building, with an open door to the stair leading directly to our room, all night long. To cap it all, at 9:30 or 10am, someone entered our room without knocking (we had not locked up!), apologised and left. A rather bizarre experience from A to Z. At the very least, they should not rent their rooms on Saturday night as they're closed on Sunday.

Cons:

It was great to have a coffee machine in the room but If staying for more than 1 night it would have been nice to replenish the sugar.
