The building has been beautifully restored. My room was a decent size with a very comfortable bed and tasteful furniture (and a fireplace). Clean bathroom with a large, hot shower. Right in the centre of town but not noisy when I was there.

Card key. Staffs are kind. There's a kitchen! Good location. The bed is good for me.
There are two toilets and one shower in my floor. If lots of guests come, it'll be not enough. The shower is very bad to use... Not hostel's problem, but I met one bad guy. When I say hi to him in the kitchen, he said, don't say hi to me. After a moment, white group came and said hi. He enjoyed talking much. It was in kitchen while I was making. So I felt uncomfortable during the time. He was staying in the kitchen for long. So I didn't want to use anymore... Is he a guest or a staff? He has a bit long hair. Staffs also use kitchen, so I don't understand.
