10/10 Exceptional

I loved the historic building, right in the old precinct. Homely, comfortable & great kitchen, lounge, bathrooms. Supermarket & shops all very close. Staff are helpful & friendly. A "home away from home".

6/10 Good

A lady at reception said I was only guest at the room but it was not. That was okay.. However, although the room was quite big, there was only one small heater which didn't really work. The kitchen is pretty neat and the shower room as well, anyway. Just staying and sleeping are no problem.

市内中心部にあって便利です。朝10時頃に行ったのだが、すぐにチェックインさせてくれた。施設は全般的に古めかしいが、清潔にしている。共用台所は使いやすい。
