I stayed in small double room, which was really small. I noticed all rooms are small for this chain hotel. 20min walk from train station, which I find quite far. Not 24 hr reception.

Stayed in a single, room was small but was sufficient for me. The room was dark even though I turned on all the lights. I did want to open blinds, don't want anyone to see inside, blinds were dusty. I did a thorough wipe of the room, wasn't fully cleaned. I didn't pay for breakfast. Saw leftover breakfast left on the table for a long time, no one cleared them.
