Ottima posizione per accedere alle attività che offre la città. La struttura, in perfetto stile inglese, è pulita e curata, il personale gentile e disponibile. Essendo onverno, ogni ospite aveva a disppsizione una borsa per l'acqua calda ricoperta di lana nei colori della stanza.

Établissement chaleureux avec des hôtes disponibles et serviables. Ambiance calme. Beaucoup d’espaces communs pour se reposer. L’emplacement est juste a l’extérieur des zones d’activités, pour le calme, mais pas trop loin. La terrasse extérieure est très agréable et un bon petit déjeuner est servi.

An average place to stay
For a three star guest house it was ok, however, bathrooms were Very musty smelling. The towels need upgrading along with bedroom decoration. It’s an ok place to stay if you are happy with outdated furniture and furnishings. The breakfast was very nice and very fresh and hot when served. The breakfast room staff were very good. Our party had 2 rooms and the second room was better furnished, however still dated.

B&B Kysna
Ett B&B som låg lite ruffigt till. Rummen slitna och lite dåligt städade. Kallt, fick be om värmare, så kom snabbt till rummet. Stället ligger en bit från Waterfront och stadskärnan som om mörkret infunnit sig så bör man ta taxi. Detta bekräftade även ägarinnan till stället.

Pleasant well-run location for a short stay
The two ladies running the guest house were very kind and helpful. Breakfast was excellent and the property overall was clean and well looked after and very secure. However, the room I was in was a bit spartan and outdated (no table or desk and an ancient wardrobe with hardly any clothes hangers) and the bathroom was in need of some TLC. The internet connection was a bit of a challenge on occasions as well but the problems were addressed when brought to the attention of management. Overall, though, good value for money.
