decent stay but some issues

limited breakfast variety backyard view
my room faced the back so the view was not good it looked out onto a courtyard. i found this disappointing since city view rooms existed on the other side.

local pastries friendly staff small bathroom outdated decor
the breakfast was delicious. i especially liked the variety of options (there were even some local pastries!). the staff were really friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with any questions i had.
the room decor felt a bit outdated. the bathroom was quite small and lacked counter space (a bit challenging for storing toiletries).
