faulty window limited privacy
The building had character, and the staff provided assistance.
My room had issues. One window did not close completely, and the blind did not block light. The bathroom wall did not reach the ceiling, so privacy suffered. The radiator made odd noises during the night.

I stayed in a double room, and it was super clean!!! the location was really convenient. I walked to shops and restaurants so easily. the breakfast options included a chef-prepared lava bread, and i even got an extra scoop. i really liked the fluffy towels. They felt great!!!
The room lacked coffee. Only tea bags were available.

The staff were friendly and location was good, close to shops.
My room lacked a proper window, just a skylight high in the roof. This arrangement, along with the price, left me a bit disappointed.
