simple stay near railway

railway station private bathroom good size city center

location is good because railway station is five mins walk away. bedrooms are good size. we had private bathroom and everything was clean. city center is about ten minutes walk and main buses are also near.

i could hear everyone coming back in the hallway. it was really loud and i heard everything in the room next to me. i think all water runs from there. every time someone turned on a tap it sounded like it was in my room.
