Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
You get what you pay for.
Pros: The rooms are clean for the most part and roomy enough for European standards. Breakfast is good. close to train station and easy access to transit. Staff is friendly. seems like a family run business, so don't expect formal service. Many good restaurants and cafes/bakeries close by. Cheap for what it offers in terms of amities compared to other similar hotels.
Cons: Carpet is old and needs cleaning, especially in the hallways and stairs. Located on busy street, can hear noise till like at 2-3 am. A few homeless, drug addicts it seems, and perhaps sex workers in front of the building. There is even a sex shop next door. Homeless people often use the entrance for shelter and other purposes. As sketchy as it may seem, the "street" people are not aggressive or anything, though some may try to make eye contact and even solicit, most of the time they mind their own business and won't bother passer by's or hotel patrons.
