decent stay, some minor issues

convenient locationcomfortable bedhelpful receptionistsmall roomcramped showercommunal bathroom
The location is very convenient. It is a quiet corner of the city with a 15-20 minute walk to the central station. The beds were REALLY comfortable in a cleverly designed room (i slept so well!). The receptionist was helpful.
The room was quite small. While the independent shower is a good feature, it felt very cramped. A more spacious communal bathroom might have been preferable (honestly!).
