a stay with minor drawbacks

delicious breakfasthelpful staffconvenient sinkmissing soapcold lighthallway noise
I found the breakfast to be quite good. the staff were helpful. I appreciated their assistance with local directions. the room included a sink, that was convenient. it made getting ready in the morning much easier.
the shared showers lacked soap or shampoo, i only realized that when i was already in there. the light in the room was very cold, it was like a hospital. i could hear noises from the hallway quite easily, and that disturbed my sleep.

Decent Stay Overall

The breakfast included several options. The hotel gave me a transportation card for the city. The location was near the train station but in a quiet area.
The rooms lacked soundproofing. I could hear noises from the adjacent rooms. The shared bathrooms had minimal space for personal items and lacked a bath mat.
