- DasaGermany“Historic building which use to be school, lot of charisma in common areas; good food in the restaurant; breakfast was basic but tasty, amazing skyr (locally made)”
- MediantibaLithuania“We stayed in a double room and the place was charming. There is so much history in the guesthouse and you can feel it all around the place. The room was small, but clean and cozy. The bathrooms were shared, but they were clean and comfortable to use.”
