Acceptable Stay Near the Station

railway stationpleasant staffnoisy streetuncomfortable bed
The guest house is very close to the railway station. I walked there in about five minutes. The staff were pleasant and upgraded my room to make up for the lack of a bath.
The room felt a bit stuffy, and I could not open the windows. The street outside was rather noisy, so I had to keep them shut. The bed was not very comfortable, and I did not sleep well.

easy walkfood places
The location was super close to the train station, only about 5 minutes away! The city center was also an easy walk, around 10 minutes. There were many shops nearby. I spotted a cafe and other food places
The stairs were a bit of a challenge.

The location is convenient, a few minutes walk from the train station.
My room smelled strongly of damp, it ruined my experience. I opened all the windows, but the smell persisted. Other guests slammed doors throughout the night, so I did not sleep well.

The location was REALLY convenient. I easily walked to the train station and the main town in just minutes. The room included USB charging ports. I consider them quite handy. The temperature was comfortable. I had no issues accessing the WiFi, and the speeds seemed reasonable.
