It suited our needs perfectly and we loved our stay.
Pros:

The price got us in first but it is definitely great value for money and very comfortable.

Cons:

My only real issue was that we book two beds (my daughter and I ) but there was only the double made up so we had to use a sheet off the double. It worked out in the end but maybe there is someway of putting that on the booking.

Pros:

Beautiful building, cozy location, cute and comfortable room. Will happily return.

Cons:

Not an issue per se, but hard to comment on the staff/hospitality as it was a self-check in. And no wine glasses in the room despite being in a prominent wine producing region.

Beautiful, unit, kind of strange atmosphere. Would definitely come and stay again. Would recommend
Pros:

Beautiful and unique historical building. Something a little bit different. Enjoyed the novelty of sleeping in the nuns cell. Enjoyed the relaxed checkin. Didn't see any staff the entire time. Good value, no frills.

Cons:

A little noisy at sleep time with guests coming and going late night. Or perhaps it was ghosts

Pros:

Thank you to the kind host who let me change my booking after I was stuck due to a cyclone.
Stayed in the nunnery, it was spacious, quiet, and comfortable. A beautiful building in a beautiful town :)

Pros:

Great old building.

Cons:

The bathrooms were NOT close tomour room - difficult when travelling with a 4 yo.

The single bed slid out from the wal when I moved or sat up in bed

It was uneasant for my son to take his daughter to the men's bathroom. And a little smelly.

The women's bathroom displayed signs asking that sanitary napkins be placed in the " bags provided", bot there were no bags.
