Solid Stay Near the Church

The location proved convenient. I found myself near the church. Breakfast included several options, like eggs and bread (i liked the boiled eggs). I appreciated how close it was to many points of interest. Leaving my luggage after checkout was useful, i was able to explore a bit more.

The main door closed loudly. I could hear it from my room. This slamming sound woke me up.

The guesthouse is beside the tour bus pick up location. It is also a five-minute walk from the city centre and train station. Breakfast had plenty of choices. I enjoyed the newly baked bread and fresh coffee.

Facilities WERE bare, though not maintained the best. They did not provide towels in the room and check-in was more complicated than expected when we arrived past 6pm.
