excellent locationsuper clean roomgood pressuresmall sizelimited spacepoor soundproofing

The location proved excellent. It was close to both the train station and various shops. The staff ensured the room was super clean. The shower worked well with good water pressure.

The room size felt quite small for two people. I also found the hanging space very limited with only three hangers available. The room lacked soundproofing, it allowed noise from the hallway to easily disturb me.

good locationclean roomnice touchsmall roomsmall bathroomhigh price

The location suited me well, because it's near the train station. The room was clean. I liked the tea and coffee offered. It was a nice addition.

The room I had was small. The bathroom was also small and it was hard to hang the towels. The price was high for what they offer.

i was frustrated that the customer service was not good. i called three times during open hours and no one picked up. they also refused my cancellation request made over a month in advance.
