Basic single bed room, medium sized, Hot water kettle, TV worked okay. The window has a safety cable and only opens a small amount. But, the room has a ceiling fan that blows air into the room. Check in and out was easy and fast. I didn't pay extra for the breakfast. It's a five minute walk from the train station.

The rooms were clean, but small. Not a lot of room to move around in or open luggage in. Staff was friendly and helpful. The city center was within walking distance and great places to eat as well.
