Wonderful

I like all the antique setting. It made me feel back to grandma's house. It made me feel home.
We have difficulty to turn on stove and the manager showed up quickly to show us about the stove.
There are washroom on every floor and several showers in the basement.
The good: beautiful common areas
The bad:
overpriced—no bed linen and no towel unless you pay extra
no breakfast unless you pay $20 extra—not even the simple bread and butter like other guesthouses/backpackers
Lovely place with a vintage vibe. Very clean and cozy. Our room was smaller than expected but worked just fine for just one overnight stay. Kitchen in the basement was a great addition. Would happily stay again for a short stay.
Quaint guesthouse right near the harbor. We had a lovely view. There is a coffee shop on site for breakfast, and since located right in the town, walkable to restaurants, ferries and scenic hill. Note, we booked a room with private bath, should be updated on Travelocity that it’s actually just toilet/sink, all shower facilities are in the basement. Also, no front desk so you check yourself in to building and room, but felt safe.
We enjoyed our stay here, the location is convenient and it has a wonderful view of the harbor. Breakfast was good, but a little expensive.

Basic accomodation by ferry port
Basic accomodation by ferry port. Good well equipped shared kitchen. Shared bathroom was ok. Keyless entry worked fine. Parking right outside. Wifi good. Very basic room but clean.
Accueil peu convivial.
L'essentiel des équipements est assuré malgré un équipement électrique insuffisant dans la chambre.
Les parties communes ont un certain charme.
Le cadre extérieur est magnifique.
War super! Zuerst hätte ich ein Zimmer unten bekommen. Nach dem fragen, ob es ein anderes Zimmer hat, habe ich ein 6er Zimmer mit Terrasse im oberen Stock für mich alleine und den selben Preis bekommen. Sehr entgegenkommend! Danke!
