It was comfortable for a solo trip and I slept well for a hotel. I got lucky getting a corner room since you can hear people through the walls when walking down the hall. What bothered me the most was the bath towel having brown stains.

Close proximity to the train station was a key feature in choosing this hotel. We stayed on the side opposite the tracks and didn't hear any train noise. Rooms are small and minimalist but clean, staff were friendly, breakfast was really quite good.

Flat is a lot bigger than expected. It has everything we need including a combo cooker (steamer/microwave/grill/oven) to warm things up. It is very convenient - walking distance to town/castle.
