central location excellent shower comfortable bed
I adored the central location. It was superb. The decor felt thoughtfully crafted. The shower was excellent, and the bed provided comfort! The attention to detail was evident.
The windows seemed like single panes of glass. I could hear cars and people passing by. It made a good night's sleep difficult to achieve.

loud street single-pane windows
The room was super clean and super cosy.
The Polar Bear room faced the street. It was loud. I could hear cars and people all night even with the windows closed. I also didn't like that the windows seemed to be single pane, it does not help isolate the sound. I feel that the price of the room with these issues is a bit much.

high price hard pillows
The location was great for walking straight into the heart of the city.
The price was a little high because it markets itself as a bed and breakfast, but this is somewhat misleading. I didn't get any discount in the cafe downstairs. The pillows seemed like BRICKS sometimes.
