It would be great if lotion could be provided too. The bed sheet is not as clean as expected, and minor stains are found.

It was very convient for transportation and walking and a stop away from main train station. It was quiet for the most part. Some of the tourists from abroad were rude, noisey and messy, yet the local people and staff were very kind and helpful. I got 2 extra nights as I was quite happy there. It’s also worth purchasing a breakfast ticket. Good location. Thank You for a nice stay.

Overall - good hotel for the price. The laundry room only had four machines and none of them did a sufficient job of drying the clothes, even after an extra 30 minutes of drying. We ended up hanging/draping our clean laundry around the room for a day to get them sufficiently dry.

Nice rooms, and shared bathroom/shower facilities were clean and always available. Rooms were tight for 3 people but worth the price, location is a bit inconvenient for what we were doing.
