convenient locationsmall roombroken remote
The location was acceptable. It was near the train station.
The room i booked, a 'double or twin room,' was smaller than expected and felt quite cramped. the tv remote didn't work, and when i asked for assistance, it took them hours to finally send someone up. even then, they couldn't fix it. I just had no tv for my entire stay, just fantastic.

adequate stay, but with some drawbacks
poor sound insulationcramped shower cubicle
the sound insulation was not good at all. i could clearly hear conversations and noise from neighboring rooms, very disruptive, particularly at night. also, the bathroom was quite small. the shower cubicle was so cramped that it was difficult to move around comfortably.

the location was great, super close to the train station. the breakfast had a nice variety of options, that i found quite satisfactory. the air conditioning worked really well, it was a real plus during a hot day.
The bathroom was particularly small, i found it a bit cramped. the walls seemed thin, so i could hear quite a bit of noise from other rooms. the room cleaning was not great. The cleaner didn't replace used spoons, leaving them dirty.
