The location is perfect, only few minutes walk from the central station. The staff was also nice and friendly, enough support. And there is dryer available, which was nice. But overall, the room and corridor looks really like a prison or hospital, not at all giving the vibe of holiday stay... Luggage storage was available for free! we can store luggage until 11pm on the day of check out. There was no kitchen. There is locker OUTSIDE the room, which is so weird. We need to use our own padlock to lock the locker but most of them were occupied or not working (broken). Even with the padlock, it could be open easily so I did not use the locker. It seemed there is not enough number of lockers available compared to the number of the rooms and beds, at least lockers that are not broken. There is no curtain no privacy, even is a mixed gender room. It really feeled like a jail or something. The bedside light is too bright so that if one of us turn it on, the whole room could be bright enough, which is ridiculous. Also the sound proof was terrible that we can hear people outside singing, screaming and DJ-ing midnight, even with our windows and curtains closed. The sound of closing the door was so loud and the door seemed half broken. Also we could hear people talking in the corridor. The shower and toilet were also outside the room and they smelled so bad. Did not feel clean.

We arrived and we got given a room with a shared bathroom, even though it said private toilet in the description. We couldn’t contact the manger. Inflexible staff.The room felt like a prison. It was extremely hot and the pillows looked disgusting, Luckily there was a pillow case. Somebody could record people showering or on the toilet because of the gap between the shower and mixed toilet. I did not feel safe sending my child alone. If you are looking for convinience because of the train station I recommend here. But if you are looking for comfort, don’t put your money here.

You have to place the bed sheet cover, pillow case cover and the blanket cover yourself. The shower does not have shampoo or body wash

I stayed in 3rd floor facing the train station. We decided to open the window because it was too hot. It was windy and chilly in the morning. The train noise is non stop. The hallway is a bit stuffy because of no air ventilation. One of the toilet has some dirt that needs clean it was open so the hallway stinks. I hope there is checker in the afternoon to check the cleanliness situation. But the counter staff are friendly
