The room design felt off. there were needles in the wall, and the furniture looked old and dirty! it seemed more for show than actual use. the space was tiny. I had nowhere to put my clothes.

Great Location, Functional Stay

central locationconvenient luggagesmall room
The location was unbeatable. I found it easy to reach many attractions. I appreciated the convenient luggage storage, available both before check-in and after check-out. The proximity to the train station offered quick access to transportation.
My room felt smaller than expected. There was a lack of space. Maneuvering around with luggage proved difficult. The absence of a wardrobe or drawers meant I lived out of my suitcase during my entire stay.
