Good basic quality

Good basic quality. Nothing too fancy, but clean and comfy enough. Good option with friends, would not choose this hotel for romantic getaway though. Big windows towards the station, lots of daylight. Peaceful sleep. Breakfast comprehensive, lots of options to choose from.

Great location

Great location across the train station and about 20min walk from the central Buss station. Comfortable if a bit dated room and bathroom with no view. Quiet room, comfortable bed. Aircon did not work very well (temp could not be lowered) and windows did not open (safety measure) so it would have been hot if the weather was hotter. Breakfast was good. We could leave luggage in the locked storage room before the 4pm check in and again the next day after checking out.
