decent location but some drawbacks

the location was great and easy to access the rooms with keyless doors.

my room was on the ground floor and it felt very dark, almost like staying in a basement (it wasn't the best first impression). i couldn't leave the window open because rubbish bins were placed directly beneath it, unpleasant. the noise was loud, even with the windows shut.

yoga mat central location

The room was super clean. It included a yoga mat, which I used (it was a nice surprise!). The location is also super central, just a short walk from the train station. There was a laundry room available and the WiFi worked great, convenient.

The digital guest environment took a little getting used to.
