Pros:

Matrace byla pohodlna

Cons:

Prijeli jsme pozde v noci a nejprve jsme se nemohli do ubytovani dovolat, kdyz se tak stalo tak nas nechali 15min venku cekat i kdyz nam tvrdili ze nekdo jde otevrit. Pokoj byl velice spinavy, sprchovy kout vubec neodtekal, klimatizace nefungovala a jeste tam lezli pavouci.

Cons:

We only stayed one night and the room we was in smelt really musty and the cleaner the next morning I found found slightly rude as we had to leave the room by 11 and I still had a little bit to leave the room and she rudely said you need to be out so felt rather rushed

Wonderful room in a great location. Perfect.
Pros:

This is in the perfect location. And we have stayed here a few times. The room this time was huge with beams and a separate huge bathroom. All the rooms we have stayed in are a bit quirky but they are all very comfortable and clean. Wonderful four poster bed and a great space to sit - although we did not spend a huge amount of time in the accommodation.

Cons:

The accommodation does need some updating. And there are areas where the decoration needs repair. But this does not affect your stay.

AC worked
Pros:

It had air conditioning which worked really well on a day when we had 35c outside.

Cons:

TV broken
Internet was non existent. Running on WiFi 4 which is 17 years old, means limited capacity with throughput.

Waited 20 minutes for breakfast when we decided to leave. Jug of orange juice and milk. Cornflakes and bread available.
