The location was great. It was a short walk from the train station.

The room was quite small. the shower had very little amenities, it was just a super small shampoo and body wash. The breakfast had no fresh items besides fresh breads. I found this disappointing.

i found the location very convenient near the train station. the croissant served during breakfast tasted freshly baked every morning. the staff at the bakery were nice. i appreciated being close to transportation.

the room i stayed in felt very small. the noise from the street was quite disturbing when i opened the window. i wish it was more soundproofed. the bed had an old soft mattress. the pillow also felt low quality.
