shared kitchen kitchen area comfy bed spacious bathroom small room poor breakfast high price
I found a shared kitchen area. It had free tea, coffee, milk and snacks. My room was a decent size. The bed was very comfy and the bathroom was spacious.
The room was smaller than the images showed. I didn't think there was a proper breakfast service. They only serve cereals and milk in the pantry. It wasn't worth the price i paid.

railway station helpful staff comfortable room
I really appreciated how close it was to the railway station. friendly and helpful staff were always available. the room was comfortable and well maintained. It was a double room. the proximity to the city centre made exploring easy.
the room i had was quite tiny, and the bathroom felt ridiculously small. i wish there had been more space to move around in both areas. the limited space made things a bit inconvenient!
