    hard bed
    poor shower

    I almost woudl ve given this place a good review, but the bed was hard, resulting in endless nights of discomfort. The shower pressure was dismal. Frankly, i expected a complimentary upgrade for all this inconvenience, but clearly, that's too much to ask here.

    cozy room
    hard bed

    The cozy and inviting rooms were a good retreat after a day of exploring the city.

    The bed was very hard, making it less comfortable for a good night's sleep.

    warm atmosphere

    Great spot for a family getaway

    The experience was improved with meeting the charming host, who was like a kindred spirit. There's something special about a warm welcome that makes you feel right at home, especially after a long day of travels. The breakfast was more than just a meal. It was an abundance of goodies that kept us fueled for the day!

    It wasn't the cheapest option out there, but the quality made it worthwhile.

    Cozy & Friendly Vibes

    We stayed for 4 nights and the room was real comfy and clean. The staff were super chill and helped us feel at home. Loved the fresh coffee and snacks every day. It was a pretty nice touch! Walking to the center felt longer than expected, though.

    cozy accommodations
    thoughtful amenities
    heavy luggage access
    noise disturbance

    A pleasant stay with cozy accommodations and excellent attention to detail. The breakfast bags delivered daily were a charming touch, and the clean, comfortable rooms. The noise from the road side could be bothersome at times, but overall, the cute atmosphere made it worthwhile.
