Amazing Location, Great Value!

unbeatable locationhelpful lockerfresh towelscomfortable bed
I found the location unbeatable with the train and bus stations right downstairs. The luggage locker room helped on my first and last days a lot. I enjoyed fresh towels daily in the room. The comfortable bed gave me decent warmth each night.
The room was too basic, lacking even a kettle, which I found slightly inconvenient for morning tea.
