The room was very clean. The self-check-in process was simple, very convenient after a long day of travel. I found the available storage and hooks for hanging my belongings useful. The location provided easy access to the town's amenities.

Really good Value and Convenient Location

tidy kitchenwashing machinegood locationsound insulation
I appreciated the tidy kitchen. It included a washing machine. This saved me from finding a launderette and I saved money too. The location was good. The house was very nice.
The room lacked proper sound insulation. I recommend bringing noise-canceling headphones. Light insulation was also poor.

The room offered a lovely view. It was spacious, and the bed was amazingly comfortable. The bathroom was clean, and everything was well laid out. I found the location to be perfect, less than ten minutes from the centre. It provided lovely views of the harbour as well. The room was cozy, with a super clean and cozy bed.
I found the stairs were too narrow. It was a little struggle to carry the luggage to the floor.
