While these features do add to the charm of the place, they have been a problem for taller guests who have found it uncomfortable to move around and gone bumping their heads in some places.
Some rooms are small and cramped, with sloping roofs and are accessible only by precarious spiral stairs. This has been found difficult by some guests.
A few guests felt that the rooms weren't as clean as they should be; one said that the hotel dog had been on the bed. Some even complained about the lack of hygiene in the kitchen.
