The room felt a bit run-down. Furnishings seemed dated, and it showed wear. I found small maintenance issues such as marked walls. street noise was a problem at night.

The location was near the main train station. It had many options to eat. The staff was friendly and spoke all languages. The accommodation was cozy. I definitely recommend this place.
The air conditioning did not work. Even turning it on, no fresh air came out. The refrigerator in the room did not refrigerate at all. I suspect they do this to save money on the electric bill. I would not recommend this place in a hot season.
