“The location is undeniably a plus, putting you close to the train station and within walking distance of the city center; the staff, for the most part, are friendly and helpful, adding a personal touch. It's a budget-friendly option, but be prepared for basic accommodations and potentially slow internet. A solid choice if you prioritize location and affordability.”
