buffet breakfast shared kitchen luggage storage small room rotten egg smell emergency light
the breakfast had a top notch buffet. they had a shared kitchen , so i could cook. luggage storage was available, this helped me a lot.
my room was very small on the top level, due to the pitched roof. the room had a constant smell of rotten eggs either from the bathroom or the small sink. there was a emergercy light in the room constantly on. it was impossible to sleep unless i cover it.

Charming Stay in Central Location
cooking facilities included breakfast luggage storage fast checkout
The kitchen had very good cooking facilities and helped save money as I bought my own food. Breakfast was included, ideal and very convenient. I appreciated the option to store my luggage after checkout. The check-in and check-out processes were super easy and fast.
The shared bathroom lacked a hook for hanging a towel or robe. It was a slight inconvenience.

thin walls noise issue
The breakfast was acceptable, nothing special (I mean, it filled me up).
The noise was a serious issue. I heard doors slamming and people stomping around late into the night. This made it difficult to sleep. The thin walls provided no soundproofing.
