helpful staff clean rooms short walk dated hotel stained floor shower curtain

The train station was just a short walk from the hotel. About ten minutes. The staff were very cute and always helpful. The rooms were also very nice and clean

The hotel seemed a bit dated near the entrance. I noticed the rooms weren't cleaned very regularly. The floor had some stains, and the shower had a curtain, so the bathroom floor got wet.

wonderful stay in a central location

great location spacious room friendly staff

i found the location very convenient with many restaurants and coffee shops nearby. the room was quite large and brighter than i expected (very grateful for that!). the staff were friendly and very helpful throughout my stay.

the bathroom lacked a fan, so it became very humid after a bath. the towels were a bit thin.

Central Location. Some Disappointments

kitchen noise worn furniture

My room faced a courtyard, so it was not quiet. I could hear kitchen noise at odd hours, and ventilation equipment hummed constantly. This was a distraction. The room's furniture seemed worn, and the bathroom fixtures were dated. These were not what I expected for the price
