the location proves convenient, situated next to a nice park with easy access to rental bikes. I found free coffee available , which helped start my mornings right. The vending machine access was a lifesaver for late-night cravings. The rooms include single beds, which I find comfortable with more than enough space.

The room was clean and well laid out. The bathroom was also clean and tidy. I found plenty of towels provided (which was very useful). Free water refills were available downstairs.
The room was small with no wardrobe. There was not even a coat hook. The hotel looked a bit shabby. (I hope it will be renovated soon).
