It was comfortable and quiet
Pros:

Disappointed in the breakfast. Note on check in said breakfast served between 7.00 and 9.00 but I was told I was too late when I went down at 8.50
Bacon,scrambled eggs and a dubious sausage grudgingly served, when I insisted.



The room was great, everything I needed and more. I would certainly stay there again.

Cons:

See above

Pros:

Lokalizacja - spokojna okolica, dobrze skomunikowana z centrum, w mieście rewelacyjnie jeżdżą autobusy, bardzo łatwo jest się przemieszczać. Kontakt z właścicielem, możliwość rozwiązania problemu

Cons:

Z przykrością muszę stwierdzić, że czystość nie była najlepsza, śniadania również, Pan obsługujący miły ( nie był to właściciel ) ale niestety nie wywiązuje się ze swoich obowiązków.

Ontzettend vies!
Pros:

De locatie en de ruimte in de kamer

Cons:

Het was smerig. We gaven het na de eerste nacht aan en toen zou er schoongemaakt worden. We kwamen terug en prullenbak was leeg en dat was het? Ik vraag mezelf echt af of er überhaupt wel schoongemaakt wordt? Er zat nog water in de waterkoker, de stang bij de douche had schimmel, het toilet was helemaal niet schoongemaakt!! Mega veel stof overal en ik kan nog even doorgaan. Het ontbijt hebben we elke dag overgeslagen toen we zagen hoe het met de hygiëne gesteld was.. eeuwig zonde van een mooi pandje op een mooie locatie.

Pros:

Posizione

Cons:

Purtroppo la pulizia lascia molto a desiderare,inoltre avevamo richiesto un cambio di asciugamani e non c'è stato neppure quello.
Per la colazione (poco variegata) abbiamo dovuto attendere più di 15 minuti perché i tavoli non erano ancora stati puliti.
