fantastic accommodation experience!

convenient bus stop useful desk lamp free coffee fresh towels
The bus stop is right outside the house. This made getting around super easy. my room included a desk with a lamp, a make-up mirror, and a kettle. complimentary coffee and tea were provided. So useful. linen and towels were included and changed daily, i'm so happy about this!
the location is not exactly central, it's a short bus ride away, but i would have preferred to be closer to the attractions!

convenient location near bus routes

large bed good pressure
the bus stop is close providing easy access to the city center. i found parking on the street directly in front of the building. the room had a large bed and good water pressure in the shower.
the room lacked some listed extras. i found only one small towel and no hand towel. the provided toilet paper was very thin.
