poor soundproofing inconvenient stairs
i was a bit let down by a couple of things. our "comfy double" room, while decent, lacked soundproofing. i could clearly hear noise from the hallway and what sounded like the kitchen early in the morning. also, i found the absence of an elevator inconvenient, especially with luggage. climbing stairs wasn't ideal after a long day exploring.

the location is indeed charming. i found the park and ride stop very convenient, located just outside the hotel, for easy access to the city center. the relaxed and informal atmosphere was quite appealing. the breakfast was good, providing lots of options.
the room felt a bit small despite having a balcony. the cleanliness was not up to par. i noticed cobwebs in multiple places. the bathroom did not seem very clean either.
