Good place to stay. A bit inconvenient without car but took about 15 min to walk to the tourism office. Good size of the room and nice beds. The mirror was spotty and there were rubbish under the beds, so the cleaning could have been better. Not the most modern, but works just fine.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
I haven’t received check in details and had to call numerous callers to get the night staff to supply check in card. Room was good but the fridge was very noisy. The room needs to have some utensils like spoon to stir your hot drinks. There was no front desk staff the morning to find some information and to get a breakfast card Other the bad comments, it is good place for stay over for couple of nights.
