“The location proves quite practical, with convenient access to public transport and nearby eateries, even allowing for walks to the city center. While some operational aspects need attention, the rooms are warm and quiet, with curtains providing privacy for each bed; the presence of private ensuite facilities is definitely a plus. It's a budget stay with some quirks.”
