As a solo traveller, the queen room with a private bathroom was perfectly priced and a real treat to stay in! I don't believe I encountered any ghosts, but the plumbing was a bit scary. Veeeery low water-pressure in the shower, and the toilet should really have a sign to hold down the flush lever ...

Just know this is not a service oriented hotel experience. No doorman, uniformed person at desk, room or maid service ...
