    Easy
    It was very close to the station which made it easy to get to.
    For some reason the warm water doesn’t work after some time, if u travel with multiple people keep this in mind.

    Need imporvement in cleaning
    it is next to train station, so i believe it is a good location. However if you want to go to the city center you should take a bus or tram. About 30'.
    Everything in the room looked dirty. Even the trash bin wasn't empty. Towels and sheets smelt weird. Definitely cleaning is not their priority. The bed is not so comfortable, I would say decent sleep.

    A definite gem - good value!
    Great little hotel. Absolutely ideal location to train station. Good trams and buses into city. Good breakfast...all you need to start the day. Very extensive menu for Nepal/India restaurant attached to hotel.
    Nothing to complain about.

    Consider staying somewhere else. I'd rather sit on a train for another 4 hours than stay here.
    There wasn't really anything I could say that I liked, there was two small bottles of water next to the kettle which I suppose is nice considering the rest of the experience.
    Reception - First appearances count - the floor was filthy with nobody around to assist guests (there were two other groups besides us) and a loud party being hosted giving an impression that staff had more important matters to attend to than receiving guests. Poor communication from reception - very little information offered when we finally checked in, only when specific questions were asked. The keycards presented to us were disgusting with food stuck on them. The room itself: 1) upon entering, the room is an odd configuration, what immediately stands out are the dirty walls with marks on them, room photos on the listing are not at all accurate. 2) There is no Aircon - while aircon isn't listed in the faciliaties (I'm more vigilant on checking this on listed facilities, this was my mistake), there was one small fan provided in one of the rooms, the other room had no fan. This means opening all the windows as rooms were very hot, we expected that we would need to sleep with them open - only after checking other reviews in detail, I noted other guests complained about the same thing and being bitten by mosquitos - not something I wanted to subject my family to for a single night stay. 3) Opening the windows gave us a beautiful view of the back sides of other buildings and some discarded socks and underwear lying in a puddle of water on the adjacent building' roof. I selected this hotel based on the rating provided by booking.com, disagree that it's a "7.2 - Good" Less than an hour later, given the above and at the associated cost (which I felt was high for what we received), we decided that we should continue on our journey home for another 3 hours instead of staying somewhere disappointing. I went to reception to check-out and discuss my experience only to find it vacant once again (this was at about 19:15) and, after waiting some time, I gave up, dropped the cards off and left.
    9.0 / 10.0
    It was a great value, a great number of beds, and good location for the price.
    The rooms were very spacious and super clean. The man who worked there was very friendly and spoke English very well.
    It was difficult to learn how to keep the lights on inside the rooms. The room key card had to stay in a slot, similar to how you keep electricity on in a cruise ship room.
