adequate but with issues
train noise small bathroom
the included breakfast proved both convenient and satisfactory.
The noise from nearby trains disrupted my sleep. It seemed constant. furthermore, the room lacked air conditioning, a real problem given the unseasonably warm weather. i also found the bathroom quite small .

mixed experience , some issues noted
lack elevator night noise
the lack of an elevator was a real problem , especially with luggage. i was on the third floor , and the winding staircase was difficult to navigate. furthermore , the noise at night was disruptive , stemming from both street activity and the pub below.
