Location is very central - which also means it is noisy outside! As many reviews have already said the accommodation echoes and so sound does travel - you can hear door locks, foot steps, voices. The facilities are quite basic - the room furniture was functional but mis-matched and a little tatty. The kitchen has plenty of plates and cutlery but is limited with pans and pots - no measuring jug; it has a 2 ring hob only. There are 4 bathrooms (toilet, sink, shower) - 2x in basement, 1x on ground floor next to kitchen, and 1x on top floor [which was out of order]. It is better than a hostel though as you do have your own room, the linen was clean; the bathrooms have towels in. The building was warm enough. If you want a place to sleep, rather than cook and hang out there, then this place is fine - but take ear plugs! Keys are collected at a nearby hotel. In summary, it was ok, I think next time I would pay a bit more and stay elsewhere.

The location is perfect, close to the downtown area, restaurants, bars and sightseeing. The electricity went out on our floor and it took almost four hours for someone to come and find the fusebox and restore power. In the meantime, we were left without any power and did not know when someone would come.

This “ guesthouse “ needs a total overhaul
Excellent position within the town ; shame this once lovely old building has been left to almost rot , whoever ownes this guesthouse needs to give it some serious TLC ( tender loving care) ,needs money spent on it , No separate room for people that want to relax except kitchen or bedroom, an elderly couple occupied the kitchen table and chairs most of the day ... and evening which made it awkward for others who chose to cook , and not eat out . Luckily for us we had day and evening long tours booked most days The showers are pretty awful. Best pay a bit extra for a more comfortable room elsewhere.

Nice guesthouse. Perfectly close to downtown.My only criticism is it would be helpful to have more kitchen supplies(there was only one pot to cook).Also maybe replace the unused dishwasher with a small oven.

Not a Hotel, but a Guesthouse
Guesthouses are very different from hotels. If we wanted it, we had access to a kitchen and a section of a fridge. However we shared two bathrooms with seven other rooms, There is no onsite staff. Our room linens smelled like a secondhand shop when we arrived and the two towels that were provided were little larger than finger towels. We knew we were getting two individual beds but were expecting twin size not old single sized. Our room was directly off the kitchen which was in use almost 24 hours a day. Now that we know what to expect, we would use their services again but would request our room be further from the kitchen and we would bring our own linens and towels.

Great guesthouse located perfectly.
Perfect location, walking distant to anything in the city. Easy check in, hotel round the corner with keys! Clean, comfy, warm. All the basic things you need. Maybe just install black out blinds...

Excellent location and the price was right, but the rooms were small and sparse and there were no staff onsite - had to walk to another hotel several blocks away to check in.

Central but basic
It is basic but the room and beds were clean. Internet was very fast - good point. It was fairly empty, and if full would put a lot of pressure on the one small, shared kitchen. Great location in the heart of the city.

Guesthouse is centrally located near lots of restaurants and sights. Room is clean and comfortable, if basic (you get a towel and a room, bring your own soap). 2nd floor shower was out of order, so had to go to first floor for that. I found it hard to sleep well because of noise of other guests coming and going at all hours (I visited in June when it's basically light all night long). Wifi is very spotty; I saw more than one guest walking around with an iPad in the air, trying to catch enough signal to face time with someone. Checkout is a very early 10 am.
