“This place seems to present some basic accommodation; however, from what I gather, shared bathrooms and limited check-in times can come as a surprise. It seems wise to confirm all the details before booking for a smoother stay, because I have the feeling it is not a place for everyone.”

basic stay with location benefits

the hotel's proximity to the train station was convenient.

The shared bathroom wasn't clean. I saw toilet paper on the floor and dust all over. the room was stuffy because there was no air conditioning. the small fan barely helped make the room bearable.

Excellent Central Location and Friendly Staff

ideal locationfriendly staffdaily cleaningunexpected bonus

The location is ideal. I felt safe in the area. The reception staff was friendly and helpful. My room was cleaned daily, and that was an unexpected bonus (I found it really nice).

The shared bathroom lacked some privacy for showering and changing.

The hotel benefits from its proximity to the rail station. Numerous cafes, coffee shops, kiosks, and pharmacies surround it. The lake is also quite close, roughly a short walk away.

Convenient stay near the station

The location is convenient.. it is a short walk from the train station and local shops. The staff was helpful with bicycle storage indoors. The room included a functional sink, a mirror, and a wardrobe area.

The shared bathroom lacked privacy for showering. There was also limited space to dry off after showering. My clothes were at risk of getting wet.

Staff provided excellent communication before my arrival, facilitating a quick check-in. They were very helpful in offering advice and directions to nearby attractions. The team allowed me to store my bicycle securely inside.

The hotel breakfast room was closed, but several bakeries and coffee shops are nearby. The location is ideal for trying local cuisine, with many options within walking distance. A grocery store is also just a block away.

The hotel's location was good for getting around.

The room was very dusty and the radiator lacked temperature control, so it was too hot. The shared bathroom was not clean enough for me to shower . I found it unpleasant.

the location was very convenient. i received a transport pass and it proved quite useful. hot water for tea was available upon request.

shared bathroom isn't great and no breakfasts being served isn't ideal either. in my room, there was a shelf. above where my head would be above the bed. if you get to the hotel after 3pm, you'd have to find a code in your emails to enter the building, as well as the room number.
