This place was overpriced with no breakfast.I remember I put a 7 out of 10 in booking and the owner sent me a private message saying that I wouldn’t find anything more cheaper than this and that I ate all the cookies/juice from the room which were included (supermarket stuff that doesn’t arrive to 5 eur but this is not the point)I have travelled a lot and never seen that in my life.Respect the guest opinions (correct or not) is the first thing that needs to be learnt.This is one of the few 1 star scores that I submit which is truly deserved.

Really good location. No breskfast, but a place just round the corner. No parking, but parked just round the corner. The Lower Deck, down in the harbour, is an amazing place for dinner

The owner was not very friendly. When I asked her about the breakfast, she said she was going to send her email back for me to read, instead of talking to us. On four occasions she told us to put the key in the box when we left. …

A difficult assessment because there are positive but also negative things. Ultimately this is a personal opinion but may still be important to other people. …

Cozy Guest House in a good location, just about 4 minutes from the central bus stop (center). As a host, Ruth always looks after her guests with great care and warmth.
