Luxurious and Comfortable Stay

I appreciated the staff's kindness when I needed something printed. The room included a huge comfy bed. The location is in a lovely part of town. I noticed that the hotel offers everything one could wish for.
The small double room had an extractor from the kitchen. It was put on late at night and very early in the morning. The noise was so loud it was impossible to sleep.

i found the staff very attentive. the hotel itself is a lovely wee spot! i appreciated the beautifully decorated rooms in a house that used to be a home. it was a very charming stay.
My room faced the street, so i heard a lot of noise. the breakfast did not include prosecco or hot food. the price felt a little high. I expected more for what i paid.

i am grateful for the beautiful garden view from my room. the spacious bathroom was very clean, it featured quality toiletries. the staff were very helpful and offered great assistance throughout the day.. i especially want to mention the day staff who were always available.
the shower temperature was a bit difficult to regulate consistently. i found it hard to get the water consistently hot, it required some adjustments.
