Pros:

Very comfortable, safe and convenient. Only negative, and it isn't much of one, is that the configuration of the building is kinda weird .... hard to figure out where the 'office' was, but it all worked out.

Pros:

Die Lage war zentral. Kurze Wege ins Stadtzentrum und zum Bahnhof.

Cons:

Das B&B liegt direkt an einer vielbefahrenen Straße und unmittelbar gegenüber eines stark frequentierten Pubs. Das Öffnen des Fensters war so wegen des Lärms kaum möglich. Das Zimmer erwärmte sich sehr schnell und obwohl wir einen Ventilator bekamen, war es entweder zu warm oder zu laut.

Pros:

Exactly as expected and actually exceeded expectations.

Cons:

Actually, one negative is they need to sort out the payment options because it was a bit up in the air. Just get a cheap card machine or ask people to pay with cash.
One more negative is the noise of the water pump, she mentioned it and is aware on check in and it was exactly as annoying as they said, something will have to be done on that.
