Good Value Near the Station

friendly roommatessupportive staffcentral locationgreat conversations
I stayed in a six-bed dormitory room for three nights. My roommates were friendly, and we had great conversations. The staff at the reception desk were supportive. This experience was better than staying alone. The location was central. You step right outside and find yourself in the heart of it all.
My room was on the fifth floor, so carrying luggage was difficult.
Dining
8/10
Breakfast is simple but filling. It is sufficient if you only stay a few days. There is easy access to food anytime. The train station has a 24-hour McDonald's. I found the vending machines to be very expensive though.
