the hotel's location proved very convenient. it was just across from the main train station. i found several shops and restaurants nearby, a definite plus. the room had sufficient space with hangers and a table.
The bed frame wasn't particularly clean. I noticed some crumbs and dust. blood stains marked the walls. the bathroom in the dorm seemed constantly occupied, inconvenient.

The accommodation was very comfy and tidy. I was very pleased to find the hotel located next to the train station. The receptionist who greeted me upon my arrival was very kind and friendly and gave me a bigger room than the one I booked (a nice surprise). The Wi-Fi worked well, and my room was cleaned with fresh towels every day, great.
There was some outside noise due to the hotel being across from the train station, and the sound was present even with the window closed.
