"Guest house très bien située et personnel bienveillant"

9.0

Nous avons apprécié l’amabilité du personnel, le très bon petit déjeuner et l’ambiance chaleureuse. Cette guest house est très bien située.

Un peu de bruit de circulation et les tapis sont un peu vieillots.

Friendly welcome. Recommendations for eating out. Room comfortable with everything needed for a short stay. Good breakfast with lots of choice.

Lots of steps to reach accommodation, might not suit anyone with mobility problems.

Gentillesse et serviabilité de Murray est au top. Emplacement idéal pour découvrir la ville. Un super restaurant vegan au sous-sol de la maison à côté.

Équipements vetustes et le ménage n'est pas fait à fond
