“This feels like an unpretentious place to bed down for a night. Located just off the one-way system near the main town centre, it's perfect for a walk, even though the rooms are very old and somewhat oddly furnished. I think the owner's friendliness and the property's convenience outweigh any quirks, so it can be an excellent option.”
