The location was convenient to the town centre. My room was super clean and cozy. The breakfast included a variety of options.

The furniture looked quite dated. I found the building a bit dark inside. The staircase was narrow with no lift (this might be challenging for some guests).

Central Stay, Great Location

central locationhelpful staffgreat breakfastspacious room

The staff provided change for the parking meter nearby. Breakfast included alternatives offered by the very helpful staff. The room proved spacious for three children and me. The guesthouse is central. It's close to shops, restaurants, and attractions like the castle.

The hot tap handle was missing in the bathroom sink, and there was no cold water available. The hot water temperature could be dangerous.

Facilities

The premises feature readily available parking nearby, however, it requires payment, so I needed to remember to bring coins for the meter. The hotel offers breakfast service each morning.

The location allows easy access to various shops and restaurants. Transportation is also very accessible from this location. Many places of interest are nearby the hotel.

The room was large. It accommodated myself and three children comfortably. Breakfast service was in-house, providing fresh and tasty meals daily, so we didn't have to go far to eat. Staff were always available to assist at breakfast.
