Central Location, Great Value

convenient locationsecure environmentclean bathroomadequate room
I found the location convenient, very close to the main train station. The hotel provided a secure environment. The room and bathroom were both clean and adequate.
My room was on the top floor, requiring navigating steep stairs, which could be challenging with luggage.
Dining

The hotel includes vending machines with coffee and snacks readily available (this helped when I needed a quick bite). While there isn't a full restaurant, the vending options offer some convenience.
Facilities

The front desk offered luggage storage on the day of my departure (a very useful service). This allowed me to explore the area freely until my train left later in the day.
Location
10/10
The hotel is very central, about a ten-minute walk from the main train station. This prime spot also places it amid a lively road, yet the premises maintained a quiet atmosphere.
Rooms
8/10
My room featured clean towels and functional curtains that effectively blocked out light (this helped me sleep well). Though simple, the room met my basic needs for the duration of my stay.

A well-groomed white cat greeted me at the entrance, such a lovely surprise. i found the towels very clean, which i always appreciate. the price seemed reasonable overall, and i really liked the antique staircase. It felt safe and added character.
the room above the bed was recently painted, but i found the room itself rather hot.
