adequate stay near the station
convenient location friendly staff comfortable bed small room limited space noisy environment
the location was convenient near the railway station. i found friendly staff present at check in. the beds were comfortable.
The room was very small. There was no room for cases. i also found no space for a washing kit in the bathroom. a machine was running outside, and the room was hot with closed windows.

convenient location friendly staff varied breakfast dated decor weak shower pressure limited light
The location was very convenient for accessing local attractions. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. Breakfast was included, AND it offered a good variety of options.
The room decor felt a little dated, though it was clean. The shower pressure was quite weak. It made washing hair a little difficult. There wasn't enough natural light in my room.
