Friendly hosts in a great location
Pros:

Really friendly and helpful staff, even walked us to dinner when we arrived late from the airport! Lovely view from the dining area over the water. Room was compact but comfortable. Very central location for old town.

Cons:

The walls are quite thin. We only got woken up once by other guests though so it was manageable.
