the room had decent pillows and spare blankets were available. a sink in the room was a real bonus for quick washes.
the plumbing was a bit noisy, and hot water took some time to arrive.

Okay stay, some issues

communal kitchen allocated storage old fashioned decor thin wall
The communal kitchen was well equipped. It included allocated storage space. The location was also good for getting around. It had easy parking.
The decor felt very old fashioned. There was also a strange smell in the place. I could hear other guests because of the thin walls. Everything creaked too, the bed frame and floorboards.
