Excellent location and quality of stay for a family!
Pros:

The location was very nice, near a mall and easy bus routes to downtown. The room we had was very nice, clean, quiet, and comfortable, including using the couch as a fold-out bed. The room also came with free coffee, water, and some snacks. Overall very delightful!

Cons:

The breakfast was OK - we tried it one day, and a reasonable value for what was available. However, I wish there was a smaller option, for example, just cereal or pastries, as apposed to a full breakfast option only. Also, and this is very minor, it would have been nice to have a small refrigerator in the room to store a little food for the 5 days we were there.

We hebben een fijn verblijf gehad
Pros:

De gastvrouw was heel erg vriendelijk.
Het ontbijt was heel erg goed
Het is een prachtig pand
De bushalte naar het centrum is aan de overkant van de straat en de bussen rijden heel vaak
Ruime kamer

Cons:

De geur. Het rook naar riolering/ een vies putje
De kraan bij het bas is kapot, we konden alleen het bad met heel heet water vullen, te heet water
De doorspoel knop van het toilet werkte niet goed en was moeilijk te gebruiken
Het vocht kon niet weg uit de badkamer
De stop in het bad schoot steeds open

Pros:

Sijainti oli hyvä (kävellen pääsee keskustaan), ilmainen pysäköinti oli hyvä ja helppo. Huone oli siisti. Aamupala oli myös hyvä, joskin vähän hintava (18€). Sen kuitenkin maksoi ihan mielellään, koska aamupala oli runsas ja helposti saatavilla omien mieltymysten mukaan. Henkilökunta oli oikein miellyttäviä. Sänky oli hyvä (jopa vähän liian kova toiselle nukkujalle).

Cons:

Ovien aukeamiset/sulkeutumiset kuuluivat hyvin selvästi ainakin meidän huoneeseen. Suihkun paine oli välillä todella heikko.
