A full account of our stay.
Checking in in the evening the young man was overly helpful. The room did NOT look like the pictures, the carpet very dirty as was the one chair in our room. The bedding an towels nice, but we both rolled to the middle, old bed. Breakfast nice as was the morning staff. Also NO Wifi the 2 days we were there! They said…working on it?

Good location, 20 minutes walk to central train station and restaurants nearby. Quiet, warm and comfortable. Only downside was that when we arrived, no one was at reception. We tried messaging the reception's number but the reception does not have WhatsApp so we could only contact them through the Expedia messaging system. Receptionist arrived 5-minutes later.

Good hotel,very friendly and helpful staff. Only downside is that the hotel advertises for free drinks if you don't let your room het cleaned, but there where no free drinks and the staff doesn't know anything about it although it's on a flyer in the room. So don't expect any drinks, just let your room get cleaned.

Would not recommend
There was absolutely no hot water. Any day and any time we tried it was freezing. The double bed was just two beds shoved together and they would split apart at night. Spelled weird, in the gay sex district despite not being advertised, breakfast didn’t even have coffee
