Didnt really have the breakfast but the staff was very friendly. Rooms were clean. Beds were pretty comfy for what you pay for and its just a few minute walk from central station as well which makes it so accessible. Theres a light rail just in front of it and another a few minutes away.

This a great budget place to stay right near central station. Yes, its not luxurious but its all you need. They provided free breakfast too which was nice, although we were out too early to enjoy it. I would recommend for a budget stay.

The staff were very friendly and very helpful in the very short notice, check-in was easy and the room was perfectly fine for what I needed. Access to transport was easy (pretty much straight at the front door or not that far walk away) and food eateries are also close by.
