“While some rooms might present issues with noise and dated decor, others offer a delightful surprise, especially the mini-apartment-style rooms that are spotlessly clean and well-equipped. The staff's warm welcome seems to be a high point for many, yet inconsistent responses to guest disturbances suggest management could be more attentive. Ultimately, a stay here appears to depend heavily on room allocation and the responsiveness of staff to specific issues.”

nearby supermarket helpful staff cooking kitchen luggage storage
This hotel is VERY close to the train station. I found many shops and restaurants nearby, including a large supermarket. I could use a kitchen that had everything needed for cooking. The staff allowed me to leave luggage before and after my stay. Kettle in room had complimentary tea and coffee.
The extractor fan in the bathroom did not work VERY well. I could hear others talking in the corridor, and they could likely hear me too.
