Ok. So lets get the small negatives out of way. There is only stairs so getting you bag to the second floor might both you. The floor is hard. (So would not recommend it if you can't sleep on hard services). Walls are thin could hear a baby crying 2 rooms over.
Apart form that. Which did not bother me at all. I loved this hotel and would highly recommend it. It is very beautiful inside and the staff are super friendly and helpful.

The location is slighty remote which is bad for transportation when u check in and check out.
However, it is more peaceful and quiet as u are in local neighbourhood rather than in busy main road.
If u rent a bicycle like I did, going out and getting back will be very convenient.
However please note that they do not have private shower room, the shower room is together with the bath room where everything is shared.
Which means that u will have to bath or shower tgt with other guests.
I do think its a good experince tho, but this might not be...
