i stayed there recently and the staff were very friendly. the room included a desk and a chair. the location was convenient as it was near the central train station. it was a short walk into the center of town.
my room was quite small. the value for the dollar was somewhat high. the conversations echoed a bit when the windows were open.

surprisingly good stay

helpful staffspacious roomclean bathroomsteep stairs
The staff printed a map to guide me through the train station. I found that helpful. my room was unexpectedly spacious, and the bathroom was very clean and well equipped with everything i needed. there was a free coffee machine available in the reception area, a really nice touch.
The stairs were steep. it was a bit of a climb with luggage.

The location is quite convenient. It's a short walk to the central train station. The city center is easily accessible within 15 minutes. despite its proximity to transport hubs, the surrounding area remained quiet. this ensured a peaceful and undisturbed night's rest.
