We needed accommodation in the city for me to attend meetings and my husband to do some touristy things. The B and H was really convenient for both of us, friendly and met our needs price wise. In all very happy with our choice.

Guided to our room, given no information other than the key. No fridge, no ice, no waters, nor information on how to check out. Found multiple hairs in the sheets, and a dead bug. The shower doesn’t drain at all…water got all over the bathroom. The bar downstairs also no longer serves food. I would not recommend staying here.

The room was above the Pub in a nice alleyway. After work hours there was a mob outside and a bit noisy until 10:30pm. I knew that could be the case, so it did not bother me. The beer was cold! Per the web the pub was supposed to have food, but this was not the case. Otherwise, I may have given 5 Stars. However, there were plenty of other options in the area. A great stay.

Great stay in this centrally located room

Great location. It is connected to the pub and in a renovated building. I have a nice room and each floor has snacks and drinks available. The young lady that checked me in was nice enough to carry my bags up the 3 floors, there is not elevator. The room is very nice and the bathrool has toiletris that were nice to have. I didn't hear any noise and I felt very centrally located. I would recommend and stay again. Once you check in you have your own private entrance to the building and everything is secure. TV did not work and batteries were needed for remote, I was too tired to walk down the stairs to ask for them. :). Wifi was strong.

Very unusual property. There is no hotel lobby per se - the check in area was the bar downstairs. It wasn't entirely clear upon arrival where to check in. Was shown to room, but no introduction to the WiFi. On checkout, had to search the back rooms for someone to give my key to. Strange "hotel". It was more of a bar with some rooms upstairs. Rooms were fine, though, if a bit tight.
