The manager was lovely! Very good location (right in the center) and right next to the InterCity bus station, so very convenient for backpackers.

Communication was great. I arrived quite late, and even later than planned due to bus problems, and I was met with warmth and generosity. Room was simple, but had everything I needed. I would happily stay again without hesitation. Thank you.
