Really good Central Accommodation
nice decorationsuitable sizekey tourist attractionsstreet noise
I found the room decoration quite nice, with a very suitable size. The location proved excellent, right in the heart of everything. I appreciated the proximity to restaurants, bars, and key tourist attractions. The train station was also conveniently close.
I experienced some noise at night because of the nearby bars and nightlife. Thin walls let sound travel easily and street noise was audible. This might disturb light sleepers and I found no lift.

Central Gem
fantastic locationluggage storagebottled watersmall sinks
The location was fantastic. It was right in the centre. I appreciated that they allowed me to store my bags next door after checkout (very convenient). Earplugs and bottled water were provided, and I thought that was very thoughtful.
The configuration of the bathroom was a bit strange. The sinks were small, so washing up made a mess. the automatic light linked to the bedroom could disturb someone sleeping when used during the night.

The staff offered helpful service, and I felt welcome . There was also a shared kitchen (it had coffee pads) which was very useful for preparing simple meals or drinks.
Rooms

The room was very clean. It had futon furniture of good quality. I liked the nice interior design.
The street was noisy at night AND early morning. The door to the apartment was difficult to lock from outside. I noticed evidence of the door being kicked in at some point on the inside.
