Staff are nice and helpful. The room is large enough for two of us. The kitchen is small but very well-organised. Very impressive.

A very traditional atmosphere at an affordable price. The cafe downstairs is cool too.

Cool atmosphere in a traditional style guest house with a cafe on the first floor, friendly staff, reasonable price.

The cafe downstairs is nice, but the dorms upstairs need some renovation, it looks like everything is falling apart. However, this also gives it an old, run-down character which is interesting to experience in such an old house.

the minus point maybe the lights are difficult to find out, so that in the night we are hardly to go to toilet, kitchen, or corridor.
