cosy room clean room character hotel broken heater cold temperature early departure
the room was so cosy and clean , the hotel has so much character. check in and check out was simple , and all the information was provided in good time. and best of all , a cooked breakfast was included in the price !
the heater in the room is not working. it is a big deal for visitors coming from much warmer asian countries. my friend decided to leave early after the 1st night.

Mixed feelings about this stay
narrow stairs varying temperature
The stairs were narrow I struggled carrying my luggage up. My bathroom light only worked when the fan was on this was frustrating. The cold water tap ran hot for a few minutes I did not understand that. Hot water temperature varied too much during the day I was not happy about this.

Charming Stay Close to the City
quiet street cooked breakfast spacious room
The hotel location is convenient as it is very close to both the railway station and the city center. I liked that it was on a quiet street. The breakfast included both continental and cooked options and offered a lot of variety. My room was bright and spacious and had a kettle as well as a fridge.
The stairs were quite narrow. It was difficult transporting luggage, and I had to take extra care.

The hotel offers an excellent location. as it is just a short walk from the train station and the city center. I found the surrounding area to be peaceful and provided an easy access point for exploring the city's attractions.

excellent breakfast train station easy instruction small room no seat sofa bed
i really appreciate the excellent breakfast. there were many options to choose from. the location worked well because it was near the train station. the instructions for the self-service check-in was easy to follow.
my room felt a bit small. i did not found a place to sit and relax comfortably. the bed worked like a sofa, it wasn't that good for my back after a while.
