“For travelers prioritizing location and budget, this could be a practical base, mere steps from the central station and city attractions. The rooms appear compact but functional, with some trade-offs, such as the narrow, steep stairs common to older European buildings, and possible noise from the lively surroundings, I believe it's a fair option.”
