Shower is missing
The guests who got a bath tub and no shower, were quite disappointed, as most of them were looking forward to a relaxing hot shower after a long day of work or pleasure. Regardless; after the bath some of them said it wasn't as bad as they thought.
negative:
Needs some TLC
Although this little hotel is full of charm, visitors feel that the buildings, as well as the rooms are in need of a good facelift. The outer walls are looking a bit grubby, and the fixtures and fittings in the rooms need to be replaced or modernised.
