well decorated room comfortable room shared kitchen

the room was well decorated and very comfortable. the shared kitchen area was also good. we appreciated having a washing machine and dryer (a great convenience for travelers!).

the listing suggests that the bathroom is part of the room so it's a misrepresentation.

the room was clean and well appointed. i appreciated the available kettle and tea and coffee. the furniture was to be of a good standard and the decoration was nice. i liked the bath, it included a jacuzzi (though i didn't fill it completely to avoid electrical issues as described in the instructions).

Clean Room and Great Location

convenient location good value fast wi-fi

The location is convenient, a short walk to the train station makes trips to nearby cities easy. It also offers good value. The fast Wi-Fi was really useful. I found the hotel to be clean and well-equipped. I felt REALLY satisfied with my stay.

The hall entry was not great with some stains. It needs attention.
