The hotel is quite basic but offers a clean environment, which is a plus. However, the rooms are small and the lack of proper pillows made for uncomfortable nights. The breakfast selection, while limited, has a nice variety, and the location is very convenient for exploring the city on foot.

I found this budget hotel to be very basic yet functional for a short stay. The rooms were clean but lacked some essential comforts, and the breakfast offered a decent selection. However, issues with cleanliness and maintenance made my experience less than ideal. If you're looking for an ultra-budget option, this could work, but manage your expectations.

The hotel is very budget-friendly and conveniently located near the Central Station and airport transportation. My room had some charm, but the overall appearance felt old and cramped. Breakfast was simple but sufficient, though the dining area was a bit crowded. The service left something to be desired, as the staff seemed rather curt. Overall, it’s a practical choice for young travelers on tight budgets, but it may not be the best fit for those seeking comfort and amenities.

I often stay at this hotel for its affordable prices and central location. The breakfast could use some improvement as it felt a bit meager, but I was able to fill up. The rooms I booked were clean, but I faced an issue with the elevator that could be frustrating at times. Overall, it's a charming place to stay, just keep in mind the little quirks.

My stay was disappointing mainly due to the poor cleanliness and upkeep of the hotel. I experienced dirty rooms with stained bedding and a lack of essential maintenance. While the location was decent, the overall experience didn't match the expectations I had. If you're on a strict budget and can overlook a lot, you might find it passable, but I wouldn’t recommend it for a comfortable stay.
