the breakfast was a delight, it reminded me of a warm hug to start my day. the staff showed such care, especially as i traveled alone, their kindness shone brightly. they helped with my bags because of the stairs, and they quickly arranged a taxi.

the water pressure in the shower was low, making it a slight bother.

A comfortable stay

excellent locationsubstantial breakfastcomfortable bed

The location is excellent, being a short walk to the train station. numerous pubs and shops are located nearby. i needed to depart for the airport early. The staff kindly prepared a substantial breakfast tray for me. the room featured a comfortable bed, as well as tea and coffee making facilities and two water bottles.

Street noise penetrated the single-glazed windows. A nearby venue played loud karaoke late into the night.

fantastic stay!

large roomhelpful fancity noise

My room was clean and also quite large compared to other accommodations. i really liked the fan provided in the room. It helped a lot because there's no air conditioning (but i was fine with it). the breakfast was substantial and well presented. i think it is a great value for money.

the music from a nearby bar downstairs made sleeping difficult, lasting quite late into the night. i forgot how noisy cities can be (coming from the countryside).

Dining

the breakfast was substantial and well-presented. i found the staff super helpful in arranging an early breakfast before the official serving time. the food available at the restaurant was delicious and reasonably priced.

Rooms

my room was lovely and very clean (i stayed in a standard double room). the provided fan was essential for dealing with the heat, given the absence of air conditioning. the room size was adequate, providing comfortable space.
