admirable stay

convenient locationtasty breakfast
The location is quite convenient. I found it an easy walk to the city centre. breakfast was really tasty, cooked exactly as i ordered it.
i noticed sound traveled fairly easily through the walls. this meant that noise from other guests was sometimes audible, especially late at night.
