The staff seemed helpful. free coffee and tea were available. the location is convenient, very near the main train station. i also found several eateries inside the station. That was useful for a quick meal.
The room was located in the attic. It got hot! the air conditioning unit was very close to the bed. the air blew directly on me as i slept, so i could not use it at night.
