We didn’t like it. Very confusing and felt uncomfortable with no staff in the hotel.

Pros (+) Walkable distance from the train station if you don't mind walking up stairs. Easy walk to the lake (approx 15 minutes). Appreciated the USB charging port in the room so that I didn't need to rely on ...
Cons (-) Room a tad on the small size making it a bit tight to walk around the bed.
