the staff at reception was great. they answered my questions patiently. the room provided netflix access with my own account. the location was ideal, a short walk to the main train station (i arrived by train).

my room was not carpeted while the photos showed carpets. i asked for a box of tissues one evening, but it was not available. i was offered toilet paper instead. i thought the hotel was too expensive for what i received (considering what i paid).
