large roomgood bathroomunusual odorbasement room
The room was clean and large. The bathroom was also good. It included everything I needed for a brief overnight stay before my morning flight. Getting to the airport took about 25 minutes in a very relaxed manner.
The premise had a peculiar odor. It was a basement room. I could hear noise from above.

This place is near the bus stop. I took the bus very easily. The room had coffee and tea. The bed feels warm to me. I liked the cereal for breakfast it was good and there was milk too!
There was not communication from the owners before I got there! I try to drop off my luggage early. I emailed the day before I arrive. I called many times when I arrived. Nobody responded back to me ever. I had to carry my luggage all day, I didn't get the code until later.

Really confortable stay

bright roomclean roomgood shower
The room was bright and very clean. I found it great that parking was available just outside. The wifi worked perfectly. The shower provided hot water with good pressure. I found the king room spacious. It had everything i needed for my visit.
Sound proofing was not good, and i could hear some noise from other guests. it did not significantly detract from my overall satisfaction.

The guest house included a self-service basic breakfast. A good range of facilities are nearby, like a supermarket and take away restaurants. Having milk in the fridge with cereal in the room was a lovely extra touch.
