They provide everything they say at the expected quality (or higher). I did not say anything about their WiFi because I did not need to use their WiFi. Otherwise, late check in at 2AM was not a problem, they provided clear instructions: key code to enter reception at Freyjugata 24 to pickup the key of the building and room where I had to go and a plan of their buildings at Freyjugata and Njardgata streets. Towels were provided at the reception when they opened, at 7:30AM. Everything was clean. Breakfasts were good, abundant good quality food. Hot water radiators really hot, so the small high window that staid open for ventilation in the showers room was not a problem. Microwave, fridge and electric tea kettle in the room were functional. Plates and silverware were also provided in the room. One toilet per floor (3 rooms) but it was not a problem for me, I only staid 1 week and I was still "operating" according to the time zone I come from.

    The guesthouse is very strategically close both to the city centre and the bus terminal (from which the buses to the airport depart directly, with no need to book for the drop off/ pick up service), but at the same is in a quiet and very green residential area. The room is small (but it was clear from the pictures posted, so no surprises there) but very clean and comfortable. Thorey was a great host and ready to help when I called her before arriving, and left very specific instructions for us regarding our stay. Lovely dog too!
