My stay at the B&B was a mixed bag. While I appreciated the effort of the staff and enjoyed the breakfast, the constant noise from outside and the cleanliness left much to be desired. I encountered issues with bed bugs and an uncomfortable environment that made it hard to enjoy my stay fully. For the price, I expected a bit more comfort and cleanliness.

My stay was quite disappointing due to several issues including poor cleanliness and service. The cramped room I was given initially was unacceptable, but the staff managed to move me to a triple room. However, I was shocked when staff barged in at night, disrupting our privacy. While the breakfast left much to be desired, the wifi was practically unusable. I definitely wouldn't recommend this hotel due to the lack of basic accommodations and respect for guests.

My recent stay was rather disappointing. The room was tiny and lacked proper cleanliness, with issues like a dirty headboard and walls that needed a good scrub. Breakfast was self-service, but the food was lukewarm and the tea and coffee left a lot to be desired. On a brighter note, the hotel's proximity to the train station is definitely a plus, and I felt relatively safe in the area at night, even if it seemed a bit sketchy during the day.

The hotel has its ups and downs; while I found the room to be clean and the breakfast quite good, the noise level was unbearable due to external events and thin walls. The service left a lot to be desired, as I experienced some discomfort with the staff's attitudes. Overall, it offered alright value, but not an ideal choice for a peaceful stay.

I was really looking forward to my stay, but I ended up quite disappointed. The room was much smaller than I expected, and the outdated linens and towels didn't help either. I was glad the price was low, but I would have preferred a bit more quality in my accommodations. The only redeeming factor was the availability of hot water, though even that was a gamble at times.
