adequate room near the station

clean room train station coffee machine stiff door unanswered calls no staff

the room was clean. its location is near the train station, very convenient. there was also a coffee machine in the room.

the door to the room was stiff and i struggled to open it. my calls to the staff went unanswered, even after several attempts. i had to ask another guest for assistance, luckily they managed to open the door but it was stressful.

strange smell non-functional tv

The location was certainly near the train station, but i had some issues. there was a strange smell in my king room. It reminded me of old pipes. the walls also felt thin, i could hear a lot of noise from the corridor. plus, the multimedia television didn't work properly. Netflix wouldn't load and the internet kept disconnecting.
