Fine for one night but very bright
It was somewhat difficult to check in though not a huge deal. The issue was a “two person bunk bed” was actually just a double bed where me and my friend did not plan on sleeping in the same bed. Maybe I misunderstood what bunk bed means. The other big issue is the room faced the busy Main Street which is fine and happens but there was a VERY bright light shining in with nothing close to resembling a curtain that stopped much light. It was very bright in the room. Room was very clean, great bathroom and great location central to the train station but at least for that room a better curtain is needed

The check in was a nightmare. The informing email was not clear. Lucky to have other guests help me fix out. The room was much small than the pictures on Hotels. Smell and stuffy! And the steep stairs killed me as well. My room was in another wing. The instructions hided dedicatedly !

Construction without warning. Confusing check-in.
Check in was confusing. Was not aware that it was self check-in until I arrived in the rain. VERY LOUD construction on the building outside my room beginning at 7am both mornings. Who begins that early? I was not informed there would be construction. Had I known, I would not have booked. No elevator. Stairs are steep. Not recommended for those who are not fit. Conveniently located and inexpensive.

The beds are 2m long and the bottom one is closed on both ends. If you're tall (I'm 190cm, 6'3"), you can't really stretch out. It's not as restricted on the upper bed if you let you feet hang off the end. The shower doesn't have anywhere to put your soap or other supplies. The supplied body wash and shampoo bottles are clearly meant to be hung from the wall, but there is no place to hang them. The only place to put them is on the floor. Automated check-in was simple and quick.

The cathedral is right around the corner no more than 150m. Some issues with this hotel is that Uber eats doesn’t know where this place is so you have to stand outside for your food. It’s small and the walls are thin. Lastly it smells like smoke 24/7 and sees in from other rooms or the outside.

Self check in-Clean-No cooling system in summer
This place does not offer reception/receptionist. There is a self check in system by the front door that could be acting up/challenging. It’d get real boring if guests waiting to check in ahead of you. Check in happens after 3 pm so if you get there early no one would assist you with holding your luggage. Btw it doesn’t have air condition for summer. This place is clean though.
