Acceptable Stay NEAR the station

helpful staff convenient location small bathroom poor insulation

the location was great for accessing transportation hubs. The staff was very helpful , when i left my bags before check-in and after check-out. They accommodated my needs without any problems.

the room i stayed in had some issues. The window insulation was nonexistent , and i could feel a draft. The bathroom was small , almost like a closet, with limited space to move around.

rusty fixings creaky bed

The communal areas seemed well-kept, yet the room showed neglect. I noticed rust on all metal parts in the bathroom and exposed wiring on the door's keypad. The bed was not comfortable. It creaked a lot with every movement. The floorboards creaked loudly as well, creaky bed, exposed wiring

good location helpful staff

the location worked good for access to transport hubs. the staff helped storing my luggage prior to check in. i also needed book a extra night and the price was reasonable, so that helped.

the room had a damp smell was really bad. i wouldn't let someone stay there. it really disappointed me and should be adressed by management team.
