Acceptable, but With Issues

easy accesssewage smellnon-cooling fridge
The hotel was easy to reach from the train station. It was convenient.
The room smelled strongly of sewage, a rather unwelcome surprise. Despite reporting this to the staff, the problem persisted, I guess it was just part of the hotels charm. The mini-fridge also failed to cool anything, so my drinks remained at room temperature, a bit disappointing.
