Average Stay Due to Noise Issues
The location was acceptable (it IS central).
Room 201 is directly above a bakery. The noise from the street was excessive. I would not return to this hotel due to this.

clean room homemade produce helpful staff
The room was clean and well kept . Breakfast offered many homemade options from the attached café. The staff was always helpful with directions and activity suggestions. i was pleased.
the hotel's access is somewhat hidden between the bakery and a bar. I found it a little tricky to locate initially.
Location
9/10
This hotel is within a walkable tourist area, a definite plus for exploring. the front door is between Sandholt bakery and Sand Bar. Therefore, finding the entrance might need extra attention. It is in a central spot.
Rooms

The room included soft bed linens and a super comfy pillow, thus it enhanced my sleep quality. Molton Brown toiletries were also provided in the bathroom, a nice touch. Room cleaning was perfect every day.
