Decent Stay with a Few Drawbacks

great locationhelpful staffwarm roomrun down bathroommissing legnot soundproof
I appreciated the hotel's great location close to the train and easily accessible. The staff members were really nice and helpful . Their attitude made me smile just at the entrance. I also liked that the room was warm, cute, and comfortable.
The room and the shared bathroom were very much run down. I noticed that the windows were not soundproof at all with the tram passing in front. The bed was missing one leg. This made it quite wobbly.

Convenient Stay with Good Transport Links

tram stopfriendly personnel
The location worked well. It was near the tram stop across the road. A grocery store downstairs was a useful amenity. The personnel was friendly, and they gave good service.
I'm afraid the hotel potentially has a bed bug problem. I was nervous to come as there's been a review one month prior that the bed bugs were seen in one of the room. I did a through check when I came in and found no signs of bed bugs on the bedsheets. I woke up with awful bites and been dealing with extreme itching. I don't recommend visiting this hotel until they issue and official statement on whether the bed bugs have been dealt with.
