the room was clean and tidy upon my arrival. i found the staff to be friendly and professional, very willing to help with directions. reaching the city center was quite easy, thanks to local bus routes. i especially loved the private accommodation and reasonably priced room!
i did find the plumbing to be very noisy. the decor looked dated , it felt a little old. the bathroom door also did not shut properly, leaving a gap.

free upgradeclean roomkind servicestressful parking
I received a complimentary upgrade. The room was spacious and well-organized. everything was quite clean, including the bathroom (shampoo and shower gel were available). the service i received was genuinely kind and helpful. the hotel is in a fantastic location.
the parking situation proved to be somewhat difficult. i wasn't told the maximum stay was four hours. the guesthouse did not offer guest permits either.
