i found the place spotlessly clean. the host proved friendly. breakfast was included, a total bonus. i really liked how close it was to the train station, just a short walk (so handy!).

the room was clean and quiet. the location was good for accessing the train station which was a short walk away.
the town itself seemed a little run-down. good places to eat were not very close by, though many delivery options were available.
