8/10 Good
"I booked a private room, which was spacious, quiet, and comfortable. Using your phone to access the room can be a little tricky if you’re travelling without cellular service or data, but the staff will also provide you with a code that can be used to enter your room, as well as access the front door and elevator after hours. There are secure lockers available to rent, along with laundry facilities for an additional charge. I didn’t take advantage of the breakfast option, but it looked quite good. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the lounge and bar area were comfortable and well maintained. The location is excellent for anyone looking to stay close to the train station and the main sights, with plenty of restaurants and cafés within easy walking distance. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable, comfortable stay in a convenient location. I would also be happy to check out their other locations if the opportunity presents itself."
