the location was acceptable because it was near the train station.
the room i booked was different from the pictures online, my window was very small. the room reminded me of it was on the attic floor. also, the room itself felt quite small for the price i paid.

Fantastic City Center Stay!
central locationhelpful staffclean roomluggage storage
I found the location really good, steps from the main station and key attractions. The staff provided a warm welcome and were always ready to assist. The room was very clean and had sufficient space for my luggage. I appreciated the luggage storage facilities for early arrival and late departure.
The walls felt a bit thin, I could sometimes hear noises from the hallway. It wasn't a major issue but worth noting.
