It’s a backpackers hotel with tons of young people but also a lot of oldies like us. We booked one of the private rooms with an ensuite bathroom that included sheets and towels so we were fine with that. They have a locker room to store your luggage if you arrive before the 3 pm which they are very strict about. It was a dumb system for checkin because everyone had to stand in a long line when checkin started. Also I had done the pre-checkin online “to save time” but they made me present our passports anyway. Breakfast was a madhouse with all the young people but there were adequate continental items. The location is the main reason we picked it. It’s right next to the train station.
