Reviewed May 18, 2026Beautiful geusthouse. Comfortable bed. Host was willing to make us a take away breakfast. Breakfast served at guesthouse was good. Nice wintersheets on bed.
Unfortunately this room was a big disappointment. It was recently renovated, curtains and towel rails in bathroom was not put back on, was done the next day while we were not there. Smell of paint was overwhelming, could not open windows, it’s winter! Had to ask for paper to be put into window facing street to have at least some privacy getting dressed. Nowhere to put wet towels first night! Dirty shower with cement debris from renovation, shower blocked, stand in water. Microwave door cannot open properly. Outside door could not lock, host comment it’s safe as if expected from us to sleep with unlocked door, we asked for it to be fixed which was done when returned from dinner.Host made me feel I’m the problem not to want to sleep with uncurtained window … my question? Why renting a room if not finished yet and properly checked for everything to work (oh TV was also not working the first night!!)That’s not fair!

Our room was under construction with patio roof balanced on a plank, unfinished unpainted surfaces, grout pieces all over, shower door frame moldy etc. At this price the room should not be let if not ready to be let.
