Pros:

The location is perfect less than 10 miniute walk to central station

Cons:

Lack of Amenties, irons etc. the floors were dirty, bathroom smelled and the shower pressure was terrible.


The hairdryer was so full of dust in the room it was unusable. The pillows and duvet covers were yellow, literally yellow stains everywhere once we removed the linens at the end of our stay

Aside from the smell in our room, the hotel is a fine place to stay. Small rooms but great location.
Pros:

The location was perfect. It’s right near the train station as well as a lot of attractions and restaurants. Friendly staff and you get a discount in the bar downstairs.

Cons:

The bathroom has no fan so there was clearly mildew growing and a terrible smell as a result. We told the staff and they said this was a “normal smell for the room we were in.” Clearly not the first time someone has complained about it, but that doesn’t make it normal. Might only be an issue on the fourth floor but not sure.
