Self-check in was easy and allowed for flexible arrival time. The room was plenty sufficient for my husband and me in the big bed and 2 sons (ages 17 and 12) in the bunk beds. The two restroom facilities downstairs were clean and well-maintained. The kitchen was well-stocked, and we appreciated the instant coffee. The area around the hotel felt safe and was near a fuel station and restaurants.

Out of all the places I stayed during my 10-day trip, this was by far the one I was most satisfied with. The room was clean and tidy, with no unpleasant odors, and the location was great — very convenient for shopping. I had an excellent stay and would highly recommend this place.

The bathrooms are very clean and spacious. The common area/kitchen is large and very nice! We stayed in the junior double room. I know from the pictures it looks very small but I wasn’t expecting to hardly be able to walk around in it. Once our suitcases were in, we hardly had any room to walk around the bed. We were only staying one night and didn’t spend a lot of time in the room so I wasn’t a big deal but if you’re staying longer, definitely get a bigger room.

We were given instructions on self-check in even when we arrived early. The whole guesthouse is cozy, clean & neat. It is 5 min walk to the grocery store. Shared bathroom is clean. Beddings are in good condition ( firm mattress & good duvet ) The downside is noise disturbance. We can hear the door opening /closing & footsteps to the washroom.

We had a room on the second floor and there was no elevator. The whole house smelled pretty bad since they use the underground thermal water for bathrooms I guess.

I really liked this place. The employees were helpful and friendly. They have a bonus nearby if you want to buy some food for the mornings or nights when everything is closed. They have kitchen to make food even when it is closed. The showers and bathrooms are separated from the actual bedrooms which is fine. I had a good experience.
