helpful staff espresso machine quiet location small room poor lighting no surface

The staff watched my baggage until check-in, which i appreciated. i rested in the basement kitchenette after my flight. It has wifi and an espresso machine. the location is quiet but near attractions.

the room i had was really small, it felt claustrophobic. the lighting in the room was not good and there was no surface space next to the bed. i would have liked net curtains since my room was near ground level.

the staff at reception were quite helpful i appreciate that. my room had a tv that worked fine and i found that great. i liked that they had a parking available even though it cost 10 euros.

my room was on the top floor so there wasn't an elevator. i could hear a lot of noise from other rooms and that was a bother. the room was small as well.

Pleasant Surprise near the City Center

helpful staff room privacy local restaurant

The staff was helpful , especially with directions and local tips. My room featured a shared shower room that provided adequate privacy with a dividing door. I found a fantastic Japanese restaurant nearby called Day n Night , it added to the convenience of the location.

The absence of an elevator posed a slight challenge when carrying luggage up the stairs.

Acceptable Stay, Some Issues Noted

small room creaky bed

The room was quite small. Maneuvering with luggage proved difficult. Storage space was inadequate and charging devices was a challenge. Hallway noise disrupted sleep at times. The bed springs creaked audibly whenever I moved in bed, a constant distraction.
