the location was superb, just steps from the train station and bus stops. check-in was quick, and the staff were efficient (i appreciated that). the room offered basic amenities, and everything was clean, including fresh towels daily. there was also a kettle in the room, convenient for making tea.

the street noise at night was noticeable due to nearby restaurants. light sleepers might find it disruptive (earplugs could help).
