“It's okay if you're passing through”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2011
2
people found this review helpful

We stayed here for 2 nights in October. It was probably the cheapest place to stay and considering we were just passing through we weren't fussy. Micheline is a lovely host and means well, however she is a little all over the place. The room we stayed in was okay; I agree with the other reviews there was too much junk and room was very dusty. The breakfast was average nothing special in my opinion. I probably would not stay here if I was on vacation but if you just need a place to sleep it's an average place with great views of the city.

“Beautiful View”

Like visiting my favorite eccentric aunt, my stay was a total success. As this is a bed & breakfast and not a hotel, I suggest you set your expectations accordingly.

“The Bait & Switch continues”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 October 2011
4
people found this review helpful

Be careful!

Make sure you ASK and CONFIRM that the owner is not completing the bait and switch they are known for and which has been detailed extensively in other TripAdvisor reviews of this place. From my experience, this is still happening!

They let you book a room online in the B&B, only to switch you to one of the less-desirable places that she runs after you pay a deposit or arrive for check-in. Only then will you be told that you will be taking a little trip down the hill where she will bring you to a place that embodies an unkempt house. Should you want a mini-fridge in the room - it is kept next to the toilet - so be forewarned.

It is a total shame that someone does this to people. All the owner need to do is be upfront with potential customers and tell them that they will not be staying in the B&B, but somewhere else. The owner has an overall good reference from this site, so I find it hard to believe that they knowingly do this - but it seems to be the case. So here's a suggestion: put pictures of these "other" places on your website and not just of the B&B. This way people can make an informed decision whether to stay at one of these other properties - especially since you ask many people for an non-refundable deposit. Is that too much to ask?

This is a good location to the city, within walking distance and good value. Ok breakfast and rooms but a bit too much clutter. Thank you for the stay.
