Great location. Good price.Room is nice and clean. Staff, location, price. The breakfast in the morning was good as it was included in the price. The location was very convenient and the city centre was within a short walking distance from the hotel and the main train station. Well situated, in a quite area. The staff was nice.It's good at this price. good value for rmoney. location. Quiet yet close to city center (just ~10min walk) and value for money. cheap. Walls are sort of thin, I could hear everything from the room next door.Location : Far from Rail stattion. no tea/coffe making facility. Unfortuntaley, a man peeking under the shower door! We told reception and this has not happened before, but still not a great experience!. We had to have a room with shared bathroom facilities. This turned out to be ok as there was a W/C in the women's shower room and the showers were very clean.Shared bath and toilet were a little uncomfortable... but cleanliness was good. Although shared bathrooms were clean, there were some signs of mould.Pricey..No tv in my room =( , no free internet access to be updated on the daily news happening around the world. In addition, as my room has bathroom , I would appreciate to have curtains in my room, in addition to organsa, for more privacy. Oh yes, it will be good if we can have fruits for breakfast. The room has strong smell of paint.The electric plugs in the room were not euro-compatible - the holes were thinnier hence my plugs didn't fit :( The soundisolation between rooms was mediocre while my room faced the quiet street so it was no problem from the outside but i could hear everything very well from the neighbour room especially water sound that ended up with gurgling in *my* sink :) . The breakfast was quite poor. Hotel staff were not overly friendly when asking about things in the city.The facilities in the room are not enough, such as TV set, hair dryer, water heater, etc. are necessary. The room smelled funny, but other than that, it was fine.Share wash room and the lift is very small. The room was non-smoking however smelled strongly of smoke. We even opened the window for ages and the smell remained.we stayed here for 1 night, but we found 2 spiders in the room. school camp feel. very small room. no room for a suitcase. Fact they had not read the comment about late arrival and so we arrived to a locked door.sound between room is not isolated properly. The "hotel" is run like, feel like, and looks like a youth hostel. Although advertised as a smoke-free hotel, it is not. Anyone intollerent to tobacco and cigarette smoke should not consider to stay here as people are allowed to smoke in all the passages, even close to the breakfast area.
