"This is not a traditional hotel, the reception was not open for early arrival. Otherwise everything went well. Breakfast is served in the kitchen area with very limited variety. Goods value/price ratio."

I think in particular was the wonderful staff at check in who were so helpful and sweet to us. It was also incredibly affordable considering how lovely it was both in location and everything else."
