Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Was greated at the door upon arrival by the friendly staff member who was accommodating to my needs which was very appreciated, beautiful room, spacious and clean, comfortable bed, amenities within walking distance, would have happily extended my stay if I didn't have a flight to catch, would definitely recommend, would happily stay again if am to visit in the future. Thanks to the staff 😊x
I really enjoyed how easy it was staying at this property. Didn’t have any problems for check in or check out. The property also had many safety precautions. Would stay here again. I would recommend staying here when it’s cold or chilly though so you can open the window and keep the temperature inside comfortable.

Disliked: Staff & service
The area was sort of "industrial." I found one very nice restaurant, the Fish Garden, but otherwise sort of a business district. That made the B&B affordable.
The B&B did NOT offer breakfast, which was important to me. WHY do they call themselves a B&B?
Also the staff person would only communicate with me using WhatsAPP. Experienced travelers know that, but I was a newbie, so the manager could not communicate with me at all.
There was no staff there when I arrived, when I awoke in the mornings, or when I returned in the afternoons and evenings.
The bathroom was not particularly clean.
The bed was comfortable., the AC worked.

Had a good stay. Host was very accommodating. Would recommend.
The website in English didn’t show shared bathroom and I found it out on the checking in. Consequently, I’m not happy with the shared bathroom and the staff on the third floor wasn’t so friendly. Also room has no ventilation making me si uncomfortable.

Liked: Cleanliness
If you book a single room you will not have a private bathroom. To get to the shared bathroom I had to walk through the breakfast area, around the corner and down the hall. The whole place is a bit run down, but everything was clean. It's in a convenient location, close to the train station and walkable to the tourist areas.
When booking, it was unfortunately not quite clear that this room in particular was a room with shared bathroom.
The room very small, which did not necessarily bother me. When I pointed out that I was surprised about the shared bathroom, I was only told that I had booked this. I would have been happy if I had been offered a room with my own bathroom.
Unfortunately, this did not happen. Also Expedia has, according to the corresponding employee, tried to reach someone from the accommodation to share there someone my wish, all without success.
The shared bathroom was very small. When I took a shower on the first day, I noticed that one of the two shower partitions, which must have been made of glass, was very wobbly. This was probably the reason why the said shower partition was missing on the second day. It must have been broken by one of the next people who showered there, because I stepped on a glass panel in the shower.
This happened the same way on the following days. Each time I stepped in a small shard. Thank God without that I hurt myself.
This does not speak for the fact that there was cleaned accordingly.
I CAN NOT RECOMMEND THIS ACCOMMODATION.

Ist ein einfaches, sauberes Zimmer in einer Wohnung voller solcher Zimmer gewesen. Keine Parkmöglichkeiten vor Ort, nur weiter weg, mind. 22 Euro pro Tag. Besser im Parkhaus, da 50 Euro. Ansonsten ist die Innenstadt schnell erreichbar
Camera pulita dotata di tutto il necessario. Non è insonorizzata quindi senti molto bene cosa accade al di fuori della porta. Bagno molto piccolo per l’uso in comune abbastanza pulito (dipende anche dagli ospiti che lo usano), consiglierei di aggiungere un profumatore o qualcosa del genere perché anche se pulito a volte si sentono odori non piacevolissimi.
