The location was good. Train and tram access was very convenient. I could quickly get around the city center.
My room felt quite small and rather dated. The bathroom showed its age. It could use some modernizing.

mixed feelings about this stay

low pressuresecurity concern
I found a couple of issues . the bathroom lacked sufficient water pressure. The flow was more of a trickle than a stream. this made showering quite inconvenient. also, the room key seemed to open the building entrance, which raised a security concern (i wondered if all the keys were the same).

The location was great, close to the train station and tram stops. The room included tea and instant coffee. I liked the traditional decorations such as high ceilings and chandeliers.
The stair carpet was worn. The lock on the main front door could be opened by the same key to my room. I found this concerning as I was travelling alone.
