Central Stay with Excellent Shower Pressure!

accessible location excellent shower good value
I found the location really accessible, made getting around super easy. The shower pressure was excellent. the water temperature adjusted perfectly. The room had a good size, it was definitely worth the price I paid.
Hallways were a bit untidy with housekeeping carts sometimes left out.

the location was central, near the train station. the staff were also quite friendly and helpful during check-in , and they assisted with directions. it was easy to get around the area because of this.
the room i stayed in had a peculiar smell, like dampness , and i found that a bit bothersome. also , the walls seemed thin , as i could hear noises from adjacent rooms , and it was disruptive at times.
