The hotel is very close to the railway station. A very short walk. the owner was helpful when i needed scissors. They brought them to my room on the top floor. i was able to sleep well. towels and bedding were clean, so was the bathroom!!!
Pillows were too soft. the room was too hot. The window did not open very much. it was a bit noisy from about 6 am. the room was a bit dated.

central locationdamp roomblack mold
The location was quite central, next to the train station. This made travel simple.
My room reeked of dampness. A dehumidifier ran constantly. Shower doors repeatedly jumped off the track, and black mold covered the shower base. A raised platform surrounded the shower. I nearly broke a toe on it in the dark. It's an old building, but basic amenities should function properly.
