Nice Stay

bus timetable food recommendation tidy bathroom
The helpful lady at check-in provided a bus timetable. She also gave some food recommendations. The room provided tea, coffee, and biscuits. The separate, private bathroom was a short walk away, and it was tidy with some toiletries.
The doors were loud, so I occasionally woke up at night when other guests used their bathrooms.
Location
10/10
The bus stop sits only 200 meters from the front door. Buses run frequently, with a travel time of only eight minutes to the town center. This makes access convenient.
Rooms

Quirky Charm and Thoughtful Touches

quirky style plump pillows extra snacks
The decor had a quirky boutique style, filled with beautiful objects. My room was spacious and the bed provided great comfort with plump pillows. I appreciated the extra snacks provided, like the peanuts and chocolate bar..
The doors made quite a noise. I occasionally woke up from the sound of them closing when someone went to the bathroom.
