convenient locationfriendly staffstreet noisethick pillows

The location is very convenient near the train station. The staff was friendly and the breakfast had a good selection of items. I booked a Comfort Double Room. It was clean and well kept.

The street noise was quite noticeable. The window insulation was not effective in blocking out sounds. I found it difficult to sleep soundly. The pillows were also thick and uncomfortable, so they affected my sleep quality.

missing air conditioningarchaic keys

The absence of air conditioning made things rather stuffy and the provided fan barely stirred the air. Street noise was persistent since I had to open the window, and earplugs became essential. The archaic keys were inconvenient too you had to surrender them every time you left the place. I found it a bit much given the price.
