i found value for money. the room was clean and properly maintained. the breakfast offered several continental options. the owner seemed very supportive and cooperative, which i appreciated. the train station was only a short walk away.
i noticed there was noise. i could hear neighbors and hallway sounds. the lack of soundproofing was definitely noticeable. this.

public transportationconvenient accessfriendly staffincluded breakfastshared bathroompoor soundproofingnoisy street
The location offers convenient access to public transportation. The staff were friendly and polite.. They stored my luggage after check-out. The included breakfast was handy.
The shared bathroom was a little unusual. There was only one toilet on the floor. Sound proofing was not great. I could hear neighbors. The room faced a noisy street, so sleep after 6 was difficult.

great locationhelpful staffdelicious breakfastsmall bathroomthin wallawkward keychain
The location was quite nice. It was about a 15-minute walk from the main train station. the staff were very friendly and helpful. breakfast was delicious (especially the fresh bread!).
The shared bathrooms were clean, but they could use a bit more space to keep personal items. the walls seemed thin. I could hear some noise from the neighboring rooms. the key with its large, awkward keychain was a little inconvenient to carry around.
