Simple and Convenient Stay

clean roomfunctional air conditionerhelpful stafftrain station
The room was clean. I had a functional air conditioner. The location worked well with the nearby transportation options. Staff was helpful during my short stay. Luggage storage was available and useful for me after I checked out, so I could explore a bit longer. I found the proximity to the train station convenient, saving me time on departure day.
The bathroom had a combined shower area. This means the entire floor gets wet after showering. I'd recommend bringing flip-flops.

convenient locationbus stationcenterwet bathroom floordirty carpetunwashed duvet
The location was close to the bus station, and that was important to me. The short walk to the center was convenient, though I mostly used the bus. It was clean, which I always appreciate.
The bathroom lacked a proper shower cabin. This meant the whole floor got wet after showering. I noticed some hair on the floor and the carpets did not look cleaned well. The duvet also seemed not washed.
