the room i had was quite small. there wasn't much space between the bathroom door and the bed. the bed was also a bit short, so my feet were hanging off the end. i also saw several cobwebs in the bathroom, which wasn't very nice.

Excellent Location, Clean Room

The location proved convenient for my travel needs. The room was very super clean and cozy. I appreciated the tea supplies in the room. They were a welcome addition. The tour pickup locations were within walking distance from the guest house which was convenient.
I could hear every noise from other guests. The house smelled of stale cigarettes. I was never checked in by the owner or employee, which I found strange

The location was very convenient for accessing the town centre and the bus station. I found the staff friendly and accommodating. The room was clean and quite comfortable. I liked that the guest house was located on a street that felt quiet.
Street parking was somewhat limited, and there were no readily apparent alternative parking options close by.

The location was convenient (close to the cathedral).
The curtains in my room were very thin. Blackout lining would have improved sleep quality greatly. I found my things downstairs, unsettling, especially as they had not informed me despite having my phone number.
