Good budget stay near city center
calm atmosphere convenient tram early check-in
I found a calm atmosphere after I got to my room. The room had peace and quiet when I came in. The location of the place is very convenient as the tram and good shops are very accessible. I really liked how they let me check in early, great as it rained all day.
The room was very bare, but I was grateful the owner provided a bedside table and lamp after I asked for it.

The room I stayed in had tea and coffee. A kettle and spoons were included inside the room. The room had a big window overlooking the garden at the back, though it looked a bit wild.

convenient stay near the playhouse
convenient location early luggage drop-off spacious room
i've stayed here twice, each time for a single night. i was visiting the playhouse again and its proximity makes the location very convenient. i was allowed to drop off my luggage early before checking.
the carpets were not perfectly clean. the room felt somewhat bare, and the shared bathroom could have used a bit more attention.
