The location was excellent. It was a short walk from the train station. friendly staff were available! the room for three people included air conditioning. the room itself was comfortable.

The stairs are steep. I found this challenging. the night reception person was rude. the room faced a wall. it made it hard to know what the weather was like outside.

blackout curtains central station varied restaurants

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.

magnificent location central station clean room run down room uncomfortable bed broken safe

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.

small room poor soundproofing

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.
