Great stay near the city
comfortable beds good shower convenient location
I was able to store my suitcase three hours prior to check-in. The beds and pillows were comfortable (what a relief!). Tea and coffee making facilities worked well. The shower was also nice. The location is good. A bus stop is located nearby.
The heating did not activate until late in the evening, a little inconvenient.

secure building clean beds convenient bus small single room overflowing bins hall bathroom
i needed a safe place and this spot delivered i was traveling alone so security mattered the building is locked securely the room was clean and had tea and coffee facilities. the beds were comfy and clean towels were provided it was exactly what i needed for a quick trip. it is not far from the city center and there is a bus stop just outside that was super convenient
the single room i booked was pretty small i could barely move around i think the stairwell took up a lot of space. the bathroom was down the hall i had to take my keys every time i needed to use it. the bins outside were overflowing it did not look good.
