adequate, but could be better

worn mattress low water pressure
Breakfast was fresh and plentiful, so that was something.
The room felt pretty dated, as if trapped in another era. The mattress springs were worn, so sleep was not comfortable. I suspect a replacement is long overdue. the shower barely had any water pressure making it difficult to rinse properly.

acceptable location, disappointing room

uncomfortable bed miserable staff
The location is central. It is close to the train station and local buses.
The room felt quite dated on first impression. the toilet did not flush well (a very basic function). the bed was uncomfortable. i felt unwelcome because of the miserable staff. i only stayed two nights. That was enough.
