The location was close to eateries. The room included secure access to the door. I found the bedding comfortable. I could take a short walk to the city centre.

The room did not feel clean. The carpet looked DIRTY. The bed and sheets were old and seemed very used. Loud noises and bangs came from other rooms throughout the night.

Admirable short walk stay

convenient locationmuch spacekitchen access

I found the location very convenient. The room was large for one person, I appreciated that. It included a sink, functional. I also liked that I found much hanging space for garments.

I observed no staff when on site. I wanted to use the kitchen to prepare a drink, however I was not allowed. That was disappointing.
