the staff seemed friendly. the king room was a good size and the bed felt comfy enough.
i wasn't pleased with the service speed. the room wasn't cleaned after the first night even though i left the room at 10am and came back 4 hours later. when i asked for toilet roll, i needed to hunt it down from a cleaner trolley myself. calling the front desk also took forever, as no one seemed to answer the phone.

acceptable locationshower problemlukewarm food
the location of the hotel was acceptable (it was close to the train station).
The shower was not working properly. There was no hot water and the pressure was low. the temperature could only be adjusted from downstairs, so the room was very cold. breakfast was also disappointing, with lukewarm food and orange juice from concentrate.
