Great place for a good nights sleep
These are simple and slightly small accommodations, but for the price it was well worth it. Clean and comfortable, with a good breakfast and laundry service for 15 euros. This is not a hotel, and the price reflects that. If you want a private bathroom and have their amenities like an elevator, look elsewhere. But if you want a clean and comfortable bed at a good price, this is a great place.

Calls itself a guest house, more like a very basic hostel.

Excellent Location, Excellent Service
The service was excellent. Chris was amazing, he catered to my every need including helping me with booking excursions. The location of this place is excellent, right in the middle of town. I was able to walk most places and the bus stop is very close as well. What seperates this property from good to excellent was that the bed wasn't the most comfortable, it made my back ache. My room was right near the street so you could hear everything outside the window. In addition, I never seen anyone come clean or empty the trash in the shared bathroom during my stay. Overall decent experience and I would stay here again.
