Solo la ubicación y el personal

El hotel es viejo, y no está reformado. La ducha es pequeña y se sale el agua . La habitación muy descuidada , suelo estropeado y paredes con humedad . Las toallas no secan de tanto uso. En general todo muy descuidado

Great place to sleep if you are catching an early train - clean and friendly.
Pros:

I stayed at this hotel because it's right next to the train station and I had an early train to catch in the morning. Super clean hotel with a nice front desk staff. Excellent breakfast that is put out VERY early in the morning - convenient as my train was quite early! My room was tucked into the back of the hotel with a small window that looked out onto a narrow ventilation shaft. As I was really just there to sleep it didn't matter to me at all. The room was dark at night and I slept great! Huge shower, big bed, exceptionally clean.

Cons:

Nothing! Everything was great.
