“For travellers prioritizing proximity to the train station, this 2-star hotel presents a practical choice. While the location may feel somewhat isolated, the hotel's affordability is a definite advantage, particularly for budget-conscious visitors. The availability of breakfast adds convenience, even if the spread is basic, and some may find the thin mattresses less than ideal.”

Acceptable, but With Issues

good locationhot roomuncomfortable beds
The location was good. It was near the train station (very convenient).
My room was too hot. There was no air conditioning, and I wasn't allowed to fully open the window. The beds weren't very comfortable. They were just basic hostel beds. (I suppose I got what I paid for.)
