the staff was really friendly and the location was ideal, only a short walk from the railway station.

The communal kitchen fridge was not clean. I saw ketchup spilled and even the coffee and sugar pots were pretty dirty. there was no free parking, so i needed to pay per hour. also, there wasn't any liquid soap or shampoo in the bathroom, annoying since i didn't have time to buy any.

the location was perfect, as it was close to the train station.

I was a bit disappointed with the lack of a kettle in the room. I had to go to a communal kitchen on another floor just to make tea. there also wasn't even a glass to drink water.
