the location was acceptable and near the railway station.
i found the shower to be quite bad. water pressure was poor and it cut out while i was using it. the room got cold during the day since the heating was off. noise from the hall and other rooms easily carried into my room.

the room was very clean upon arrival. everything seemed to be in order and well-kept.
the television in the room did not work at all. the remote was unresponsive, and the tv blocked the only window, so i couldn't even look outside. the room felt overpriced considering this issue.
