Acceptable stay near the station
easy walk clean room cozy room noisy courtyard garbage throwing bottle throwing
The location was very close to the rail station. I found it an easy flat walk. The room was clean and cozy, a little small. I loved it.
The room was too hot and faced a courtyard behind a pub. People were throwing garbage and bottles. This was very noisy and it woke me up.

A Convenient Stay
ideal location smooth process
The LOCATION impressed me greatly. It was perfect for visiting local attractions! The self-check-in process was smooth with clear instructions provided via text. I appreciated the cleanliness of the room and the fans provided, a sweet gesture during warmer days.
i found the absence of on-site staff inconvenient, particularly when i needed to store my luggage after checking out. contacting someone for assistance proved challenging, forcing me to seek alternative storage solutions. the need to find luggage storage elsewhere added unexpected costs and hassle to my day
Facilities
8/10
The self-check-in system worked efficiently with codes sent promptly via text, a modern convenience i valued. the lack of on-site staff could be a drawback for some guests. It offers a level of privacy though.
Service
8/10
Communication was primarily through text and email, a practical way to receive entry codes and information! the response time could be improved though, especially when immediate assistance is needed. That's my only concern.
Rooms
9/10
My room featured all essentials for a short stay and a comfortable bed. It met my basic needs perfectly. the provision of fans to combat heat showed thoughtfulness. I would expect more from a hotel in such price though.
Location
10/10
the central position near the station and town center was convenient, i could reach everything so easily! the proximity to food options and a coffee shop right on the doorstep was very practical for me.

basic but with issues
small room disruptive noise
the location was convenient for accessing transportation.
the room felt quite small, barely accommodating essential furniture. noise from a nearby pub's courtyard disrupted my sleep early in the morning. a hook behind the door would have been useful, given the limited space for hanging clothes.
