Pros:

I enjoyed my stay: the room was spacious and clean, with a castle right across the street and the New Theatre just a 10-minute walk away. I slept comfortably. Thank you!.

Cons:

The holes in the curtains were, of course, awful. The room could also use a mini-fridge

Für eine Nacht okay, aber zu teuer
Pros:

Die Lage direkt gegenüber vom Castle ist nicht zu schlagen. 10 Minuten vom Bahnhof entfernt ist auch okay. Das Personal war sehr nett und bemüht.

Cons:

Die Zimmer sind extrem hellhörig, sowohl zum Nachbarzimmer als auch zur Straße. Die Fenster nur einfachverglast und lassen sich nicht öffnen. Das muss im Sommer sehr stickig sein. Das Bad war... nun ja. Total abgerockt. Dergleichen sämtliche Möbel etc.
Das Frühstück könnte reichhaltiger sein, das war eher schlicht gehalten. Jedes B&B kann es besser.
