useful location bus tour grocery store
i found this location very useful because it was close to bus tour departures. it was just down the block. i liked that it was near town. i also liked that a grocery store was close by.
the room was very small, and i did not get breakfast at the hotel. i knew this when i booked. it was still a minor inconvenience.

great location early check-in
I really liked how close the location was to tour bus departures. Many leave from just down the block! the proximity to town and a grocery store was super handy too. i could leave my luggage in my room early and start exploring.
The building smelled of stale cigarettes. I found that unpleasant.

Excellent Stay Near the Cathedral
quick response excellent care warm welcome
I was early for my check-in, but the staff greeted me warmly and inquired about my visit. I mentioned I was attending a wedding. She kindly offered to iron my shirt, which I thought was above and beyond. The care and attention I received was notable.
The room felt slightly small. There was little space between the bathroom door and the edge of the bed.
Location

The guesthouse is close to the river and the cathedral. Many tour buses stop near this location. It is only a short walk to the city center. There are pubs and restaurants there.
