Beautiful property, welcoming staff. A true ‘home-from-home’.
Pros:

The property has an eclectic and contemporary ‘grandma chic’ style with lots of curious and beautiful features.

Cons:

The walls are a little thin so ‘next bedroom’ activities and conversations can be heard clearly.

Pros:

The decor of the hotel is lovely, the area is really convenient and the staff are super friendly.
We forgot a set of headphones in our room and they contacted me once they found them.
The sweets cabinet in the passage is a very cool idea.

A quirky property with friendly, helpful staff. Comfortable.
Pros:

It’s a quirky property, near bus stop, cafes and shops.

Cons:

My room was very small with nowhere to open suitcase except on the bed…just needed a suitcase rack.

Baja relación calidad-precio, falta de limpieza
Pros:

La zona está bien, el camino hacia el centro es agradable y pasan varias líneas de autobús por delante del alojamiento. Tiene cerca comercios y restaurantes. El personal fue bastante agradable.

Cons:

Faltaba bastante limpieza en general. La relación calidad-precio me pareció bastante baja, sobre todo habiendo estado en otros alojamientos de la zona con mejor calidad y precio contenido.
Estuvimos solo una noche y no hicimos uso restaurante, desayuno… no lo puedo valorar.
