    “Pay a little more and go somewhere else.”

    I chose this accommodation because it was cheap, but it was the worst place I stayed during my two-week trip. I was assigned to the top floor, but there was no elevator, so I had to carry my heavy suitcase up to the third or fourth floor, and it was so cold at night that I caught a cold. When I tried to wash, there was no warm water, so I had to force myself to wash with ice-cold water. The bed was uncomfortable, there were no curtains, and the outlets didn’t work, so I couldn't charge my devices. On the day of checkout, they charged extra for storing my luggage, and the staff were unfriendly. This accommodation has no advantages at all.

    Location is very close to the central station, just a few steps away. The double bed room is in the other building, but that's fine. The room is small, but the bathroom is clean. No complaints if you're only staying for one night.
