  Spotless great location

• Emma from Netherlands (7/10)

  The location was great, and the building looked old from the outside but the room was nice and clean. The breakfast options were plenty, and after asking, breakfast could even be delivered early on an exception basis since we were leaving early.

• Aleksandra from Ireland (7/10)

  A Stressful arrival. Its hard to find the accommodation as we could find no reference to "The Old Town View" in the street outside, just a building number 3 – yes, you have arrived at the correct address!
  We got let into the main lobby by a resident passing and boy we were worried, it looks rough! We were still none the wiser as to how we could gain entrance to our accommodation or where it was as there was no one around to assist.
  I know younger people will probably take this in their stride, but we are not used to this system of no one being on site and messages being hopefully being sent via e mail etc.
  We wondered what we had let ourselves in for.
  I managed to get a reply from the telephone number provided from "Booking.com" and it became apparent that we had arrived too early (1330hrs) and that at 1500hrs would receive further instructions by e-mail.
  We had to drag our large cases to town and found a coffee shop to await these instructions.
  So my first point is that there should be signage and basic instructions available at the outside entrance of the property, at least so you know its the right building!
  From arrival of instructions on the email later on, with 2 door codes – 1 for the outside door and then upstairs – level 1 – to the accommodation, all went well.
  Once you enter the accommodation area for this company it is split into several apartments with a separate keypad entry.
  We were relieved when we entered the apartment – big sigh of relief – all nice, warm, well appointed and clean.
  We were facing the main road, being above this road and tram way, its noisy, but the good news is the trams stop at 2300hrs (starting at 0500hrs) and it goes much quieter overnight.
  The main plus of the accommodation is its central location providing very easy access to the centre of town and in our case the fantastic Xmas market and wonderful historic old town.
