convenient locationshort walk
the location is great with frequent public transport options. it is also a short walk to the city center, about 15 minutes.
The front desk closes early at 5 pm. Everything is automatic after this hour, so arriving late could be difficult. i did manage to get the codes, though

decent stay, some issues

comfy bedpleasant surpriseunpleasant smellsmall room
the location is great and i find the hotel to be conveniently located. the room was larger than i anticipated i guess, and the bed was quite comfy. those croissants were a pleasant surprise i tell ya.
the receptionist was unfriendly. the room i got, it had this very unpleasant smell, as if it hadn't been aired out for months, i swear. even after keeping the fan running for several hours, the bad odor didn't go away so it. i find the room was small, not worth the price.
