Reviewer Type: Extended Group
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Location, very near to train station and city center. Beds were comfortable. Shared bathroom was cleaned regularly.
Negative: Rooms were a little small to even open our luggage. Rooms were on 2nd floor with stairs only and we have to drag our 5 luggage up the stairs. There is no AC/heater in the room so you can only open the windows to cool down or get under the covers if its too cold.
