Cheap and lovely staff
The staff are extremely helpful. The accommodation is basic but did the job for what we needed.

Perfect Budget stay.
With in walking distance of the castle, old town, and just about everything else. Clean, well maintained, and lovely rooms. The kitchen is beautiful but with 2 bakeries within a block, and multiple cheap eats, you may not get around to using it.

Recepcja pomocna, kulturalna. Z uśmiechem. Pokój mały, ale czysty. Łazienka prywatna ok. Ręczniki mogłyby być większe :)
Very good for just stay 1 or 2 nights. But not really for relaxing. The location is perfect for every important things in the town.

nesvarus kambariai
Apsistojome vienai nakciai, taciau į akis krito nesvarus kambariai, po lovomis radome kruvas smelio, papieriniu serveteliu. Kambariai tvarkomi labai prastai. Gerai, kad patalyne kvepejo skalbimo milteliais, nes nebuvo jauku.
