the staff was helpful . the location is ideal near restaurants and the underground. the room contained all essentials and was clean. i found the value for money very reasonable. i could also keep my bags at reception after check out.
the window in my room did not close well. the soundproof shutter had been removed. i asked for a different room due to the noise. they told me it was down due to repair, but the hotel was fully booked. i had to stay in the noisy room.

small roomshower enclosure
The room was quite small. it barely fit the bed, and maneuvering around was a challenge. the bathroom lacked a proper shower enclosure. water splashed everywhere when i showered. i noticed the absence of a trash can. disposal became unnecessarily difficult. this place was also lacking a hanger for the toilet paper roll. It reminded me of such an oversight.

i appreciated the convenient location, a short walk to the station. the staff was friendly. i could leave my bags after checking out since my train was later. this gave me a full day to enjoy the city. the reception was helpful and my stay felt stress-free. i will choose this hotel again.
my room was very small, and there was no surface to put anything. the console table shown in pictures was gone. i had to buy breakfast because there was no breakfast room open.

Clean and Convenient Stay

comfortable bedclean sheetfragrant towelcomplimentary water
My room had a comfortable double bed. I appreciated the fresh, clean sheets and fragrant towels. The complimentary water bottles were a thoughtful touch. The room included a kettle, tea, coffee, sugar, and biscuits.
The stairs are narrow and deep, which posed a challenge with a large suitcase.
