I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the guesthouse. The rooms were lovely, despite having a shared bathroom, they were clean and well-maintained. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, making my experience even better. The location was ideal for my needs, and the dining, although limited, was satisfactory. The facilities were convenient and met my expectations.

The guesthouse is in a great location, just over 5 minutes walk from the train station, ideal for work and transport links. The rooms are spacious and comfortable with a small window looking out into the undefined exterior. The service is adorable, professional, and helpful, making sure to provide all necessary information upon arrival. The dining experience includes a 'help yourself' breakfast with ample supplies but had to be taken in the room. The noise from passers-by outside, expected of city center locations, could be a bit bothersome. The overall value for money is good considering the facilities and location.

The guesthouse is in a good location for work and transport links, making it ideal for what I needed. The rooms, though with a shared bathroom, were clean and well-maintained even though the heating didn't cover the whole room. The service was top-notch, with the staff going out of their way to be helpful and friendly. The dining options were limited to items in packets/tins, not the typical cooked breakfast you'd expect in proper B&Bs. The location, although convenient for me, could have been better if it had longer hours of operation. Overall, a comfortable stay with some minor limitations.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was good, ideal for work and transport links, and close to the city center and train station. The service was exceptional, with the staff going out of their way to make me feel welcome. However, the room I stayed in was downstairs, cold, and had a small window looking out into an undefined exterior. The dining options were limited, and I had to take my meal in my room, although the smoked meat was a standout dish.
