"The check-in process would have went smoother if I had checked my email 😅.
As I booked through Expedia, I was expecting to have the instructions on my expedia inbox. So, I had to phone the host for the instructions, which she happily provided in a text.
Interesting way of checking in, with a code and a lock box. Although it's nice to be greeted, this way saved a lot of time in waiting.
The hotel was clean, the smell when entering the room was clean, fresh.
Nice toiletries, plenty tea, coffee etc. Kettle and a small iron and ironing board in the room.
Comfy bed, at least I slept well.
The only downside, for which I've taken a star is that the room next door was very noisy on the day of the arrival, some ladies/ girls, laughing out loud and could hear them as they were in my room. Every time they used the toilet, I could hear the door, water flushing etc...very loudly.
After a full day of travelling, I would have appreciated some peace and quiet.
I haven't made the host aware about this, there is a note at the entrance to keep it down and respect the other guests, but I suppose, not everyone is considerate and educated.
The hotel is in a quiet area, couldn't hear the outside noise, just from the next door. I stayed in rm 4.
At the time they were not serving meals, but there are plenty places where you can eat around, one of them is 5 minutes walk and they have a shop there as well. (On the expensive side). But there are supermarkets and everything if you need anything."
