“The location strikes me as practical, with convenient access to Central Station and proximity to a supermarket and park. While some aspects, such as the room quality and atmosphere, appear inconsistent, the self check-in via QR code offers a modern touch. In my opinion, this property seems best suited for travellers prioritizing location and ease of access over consistent comfort.”
