I stayed in a twin room private bathroom. The room had good blackout curtains. The central station was a short walk. Nearby restaurants offered many choices.
The staircase was quite narrow , making luggage transport a little difficult.

The location was magnificent! It was very close to the central station. We could walk to the hotel easily and everything we needed was nearby. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The room was really clean too.
My room was quite run down. There were lots of marks on the walls. The bed was uncomfortable and squeaky. I also noted that the safe did not work in the room. It was not ideal.

Honestly, the experience wasn't amazing. the room was rather small. Opening my suitcase fully was a challenge. plus, the soundproofing wasn't great. i heard everything from the street and neighboring rooms. it was tough to get a good night's sleep due to the noise and cramped space.
