Location Is Fine, But Room Had Issues
convenient locationbroken windowripped curtains
The hostel's location near the station was really convenient.
The room I booked, a Quadruple Room, had a broken window that I couldn't shut properly and trains nearby made the noise quite irritating. The curtains were also ripped, so the room was quite dark. Not exactly what I wanted.
