I found the location quite convenient. It was near the train station, and that helped me to get around. I also appreciated the proximity to restaurants.
The room was very small! The toilet was also cramped and uncomfortable. I was not able to move freely.

a charming, central stay!
superb locationfriendly staffsteep stairs
the location was superb! it made exploring so easy. the staff seemed very helpful, and i liked the hotel cat that i saw there. it was a nice touch.
The stairs were steep! it was quite a climb to the top floor with luggage. also, i noticed a slight smell of smoke in the hallway on my floor. This lingered a bit, it wasn't ideal.
