“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.”

The location was indeed amazing and so close to everything. i could easily walk to various attractions and the central station. the room was very clean, i could see this, and i was so pleased with the fresh towels provided each day. the staff were friendly. They answered all my questions with a smile.
the street noise at night was a bit noticeable, i could hear it clearly, so earplugs were helpful.

The location was good near the train station. The easy check in was alright.
My room was on the top floor and felt small. it was difficult to move around. The bathroom was also very inconvenient. closing the door made using the sink impossible and a really unpleasant smell came from the drain.
