convenient locationthin wallimpersonal check-in

the location near the train station WAS acceptable.

the room was rather small , and i found the lack of staff on site unsettling. the self-check-in process felt impersonal , and the thin walls meant i could hear conversations from other rooms ALL night. i suppose that's what i get for a 'budget' option.

The room had a coffee machine for a quick caffeine fix. The provided shower had consistent temperature and strong pressure, I found it very refreshing. The location was quite convenient, a short walk to the city centre made exploring easy. The room was also very clean and tidy..

The floorboards creaked slightly in some areas.

The location was close to the train station and an easy walk to the city center. The room was also clean.

The room was very small I barely had space to put my suitcase. There was no place to hang a towel after a shower. The shower head sprayed thin streams of water onto the door of the stall.
